    These flags would be so useful in daily life when you're having one of those days and want to let people know.

    'I am dragging my anchor.' 'I require a tug.' 'Stop carrying out your intentions.'

    And my personal favourite 🚩: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'

    @Natasha_Jay "No meaning", that's thoughtful. You could fly no flag but that wouldn't be proper. Or I suppose anyone observing you might decide you're too lazy to fly a flag.

    These should all be statuses in Teams, complete with flags.

      they are still valid on the sea and tidal waterways (although nowadays folk use VHF radio and other communications methods).

      P (Papa) is also known as "Blue Peter", which inspired the BBC kids TV programme (which is still running, but seems to be operating from the lifeboats rather than the full size vessel)

                              Well they date back to the days of cannons and sailing ships, above all flammable ones with months at sea.
                              Semaphore required proximity and there was a risk of unintended consequences ...

                              I invite you to finish the gag yourself as I can't decide on the punchline; or at least a clean one.

                                I wonder if they still teach these to sailors? πŸ€”

                                Guess it might be useful if your radio was broken and you didn't have any other signalling method?

                                        These flags would be so useful in daily life when you're having one of those days and want to let people know.

                                        'I am dragging my anchor.' 'I require a tug.' 'Stop carrying out your intentions.'

                                        And my personal favourite 🚩: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'

                                        "Nothing will demonstrate the Tsolyani love for visual displays of social intangibles as well as a description of the Meshqu plaques.

                                        [...]

                                        are hung upon a hook outside their owner's door . Different colours and designs indicate the person's moods and willingness to receive visitors, and guests are expected to respond accordingly:
