People saying "10-4โ€ on the radio when they mean "affirmative" or "yes"

[-] Stuka@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well since 10-4 is a radio code meaning message received, I think they're saying exactly what they mean.

Things like "Did you guys go for lunch?" and hearing back "10-4". Obviously I know what they mean, it just annoys me.

What does 10-4 really mean then?

[-] Statlerwaldorf@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

I think it's technically supposed to be an acknowledgement that the message was received.
