mayday

An international radio distress signal used by ships and aircraft to signal a life-threatening emergency. / A spoken distress signal used to indicate that a vessel or aircraft is in grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance.
Nouninterjection
pl: maydays

This term is a specialized distress signal used exclusively in maritime and aviation contexts. It is not a general cry for help but a formal protocol intended to alert rescue coordinators and other vessels of a life-threatening emergency. Using it in non-emergency situations is often considered a serious violation of radio regulations.

When used as an interjection, it is traditionally repeated three times in succession to ensure the signal is heard and recognized through static or noise. As a noun, it refers to the call itself or the act of signaling distress.
