'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.

@Natasha_Jay You are running into danger!

@tehstu
I wonder if it's a reply that your flags were incomprehensible ie "No meaning"? -
