mayday, mayday, mayday

Just an update for those who play Trivial Pursuit: mayday is from the French phrase m'aidez which means (you) come help me. It is the distress signal and is said three times in a row to make sure that those who hear it know that it is a real distress signal. The call is from those in "grave or imminent danger and who require immediate assistance."

So there you have it, folks! I have done my research! You are welcome. ;)
