Is that what it is? By-your-leave? All this time...

Thank you!

"By your leave" is an old-fashioned way of saying "with your permission," or "if I may."

I seem to recall it being said in some movie about shipboard life in the Navy, or perhaps Star Trek.

Perhaps the Cylons said it to their commander in Battlestar Babe-lactica.
