Canadian Version
The Canadians serve french fries with a gravy made out of cheese. I do not recall the name, but it is very good.

it's pan pan - not pon pon
Pan pan to be repeated three times. Don't know what accent would make the sound pon pon from pan pan - but it is possible I guess. Oh yeh - Dan - that would be poutine. Invented by French Canadians - also known here as heart attack on a plate.

I guess the CG doesn't know how it's pronounced
From the CG Aux site at http://www.cgaux.org/cgauxweb/training/AUXCOM-ssg-4.pdf "In radiotelephone, the urgency signal consists of the word "PAN PAN" (pronounced "PAWN PAWN") spoken three times..." I rest my case.

pan pan pronunciation
In the Canadian and UK coastguard manuals it calls for pan pan to be pronounced - pahn pahn. Not an expert in English, but methinks that would soften the letter "a" eh? Peggy, your coastguard auxilliary does have it sounding differently - no question. I suppose as long as we all know what it means when we hear or have to call it we stand a better chance of surviving or making the necessary rescue. Cheers,

French Fries with gravy: C'est Poutine
French fries with sauce (or gravy) and cheddar cheese curds is called Poutine and is a Quebecois speciality... (I am a Canadian-Quebecoise living in the US). Love the discussion "en Francaise!

Lets see if I am following this thread
First a man is sentenced for a false distress call, Rick posts a monolog on Rescue 21, that leads to some Vietnam reference, thence to an opinion of Memphis, then we progress to the origin and proper pronunciation of French disress words (which I am sure they have used a lot) and now we are discussing French cuisine? Cheese in gravy? We Texans do not approve of that kind of talk! What about French beer? I have never seen any. Can you make beer from sour grapes? Would they be offended at the mere suggestion? I have always said that you cannot go too far wrong offending the French. All of this stuff could have been added to the fire extinguisher thread if you guys had just thought about it a little. Do not neglect that topic. It has not been added to in days. It is only 6 pages long. Do they serve French beer to French Canadian Vietnam veteran retired police officers in Memphis? Which beer goes best with potatoes and cheese gravy and is that cause for alarm? YOU GUYS ARE A HOOT!

Hey Patrick
Obviously you have never watched the threads in trailersailor. If the thread goes beyond six responses, no matter what, it will end up being a discussion of politics or religion. Usually viscious. This forum is remarkable tame and consistent with the original subject.

WILCO = Will Comply....I think! Which,
I believe was the original question. I got lost between the french fries and the Ham calls.

Don't forget the peas...
Fries, gravy, curd cheese and sometimes peas. Everything gets mushy and whenever I eat a serving I'm slow for a few hours until my blood thins out again. At the winter carnival in Ottawa you could buy poutine and beaver tails in side by side shops. Buy one of each and sit and wait for your heart to stop. The French did surrender in WW2. They surrendered a couple years before the US joined the war. We all speak French. I took my attache-case to a rendez-vous that helped our esprit-de-corps. Thank God we solved the problems of improper use of VHF. I think the VHF license should be included on your driver's license. Screw up on VHF and walk for a week!

An aviators two sense
Yep, "Wilco" is shorthand for "Will comply", and usually follows "Roger" or "I've received and understand your last transmission" (see why they shortened it?). The F.A.A pronounces "PAN PAN" just like it's spelled, repeated three times. Of no interest: I'VE declared "PAN PAN" on three separate occasions. On another note, wouldn't it be nice if we kept our political views out of this interchange? If you've an axe to grind, visit any of the HUNDREDS of sites where one is encouraged to vent their spleen, and save this excellent site for sailing.
