Also worth noting perhaps, that those nautical distress calls are French, so ‘mayday’ should strictly be spelled “m’aidez”, meaning ‘help me’.
Dude, you *rock*.
Given how much of France and England were kinda under dispute or under joint governor ship aways back (vague hand-waving about Eleanor of Aquitaine or something), I think you've *nailed* it.
That's exactly how it would sound to a Limey poofter!
(Although in French class the phrase I was taught was "Au secours!")
