“Five by five is a slang adjectival phrase meaning good, fine, all is well.”
“But the phrase arises in World War II military jargon. It’s a measure of a radio signal’s strength and clarity on a scale of one to five. Five by five is the best, loud and clear. One by one would be very weak and garbled.”
