Pip emma

I'm pretty sure this term comes from early military radio transmissions. Before the 'Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta' system was introduced there was a scheme of emphatic and distinctive pronunciation of letters. Pip Emma means PM, post meridian, the afternoon. But rather in the style of a cavalry officer, Circa 1917, inviting his batman to an ill advised assignation.
