'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.'BRAVO ZULU
We had to memorize these in Surface Warfare Officer school. (That memory has since been erased and reformatted to make room for Adventure Time lore.)

: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'@Natasha_Jay I'm amused at "No meaning". I just felt like flying a flag.

: 'I am on fire; keep clear of me.'@Natasha_Jay cool! Found the Wikipedia article for the current list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Code_of_Signals (scroll down to single flag signals - I couldn’t figure out how to link directly to the section on mobile)
My favorite: "Stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals." Could be handy in so many situations.

@tehstu
I wonder if it's a reply that your flags were incomprehensible ie "No meaning"?@tehstu @Natasha_Jay I think it just means that there's no "short code" associated with that flag so it just has its letter value.

@Natasha_Jay I might add both "I am disabled; communicate with me", and "I have something to communicate" !

@Natasha_Jay why is the Skåne flag there, and why does it say no meaning?
@loke Meanings of flags, my father told me about that when I was a child. He showed me the flag alphabet and told me the flags had secondary meanings in addition to the letters of the alphabet. He told me there also were special flags with one or more meanings, such as when one ship accidentally raised our country's flag upside down, the sailors on his ship called over and asked if the next ship was in distress. If your flag is listed with no meaning then I believe that means it has no international-flag-meaning other then the original meaning, as a country flag.
