five by five

Five by five is a radio communications expression that means 'loud and clear'. One of the fives represents the S units of reception strength. The other five is a rating of the signal clarity. Five by five is a good, clear signal. The radio use of this expression goes back to the 1950s: "'All right, testing, one-two-three-four. . .' 'Five by five, Mr. Holloran!'" (Hunter, Blackboard Jungle, 1954).

The more metaphorical meaning, popularized by Faith Lehane from the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, wasn't recorded until the 1980s.

The use of the word is primarily used in the military, or when discussing something similar.
"'I hope everything's all right.'
'Yeah, everything is five by five'"

nine to five

Its used as a verb. It is what you actually do when you get to work. Many jobs have fancy names like Assistant executive vice-president to the blind foundation of excellence, but people dont know what that means, so you ask them, "whats your nine to five?" and they tell you if they sit at a desk, or do they write papers? are they walking around supervising people? what does the person actually do all day, the actual 9am to 5pm shift, what are they doing specifically?
