Pompholoogopaphlasmasin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Pompholoogopaphlasmasin Pompholoogopaphlasmasin was an expression used during World War II by a Royal Navy captain in a signal reporting on an action in the Mediterranean. ==The action== In November 1942 HMS ''Lotus'' was operating in support of Operation Torch. On 13 November she and HMS ''Poppy'' made an ASDIC contact on a submerged U-boat off the coast of Algeria. They attacked with depth-charges and were rewarded with sounds of the vessel breaking up underwater. Lt. HJ Hall, the captain of ''Lotus'', described this sound in his report with the Greek expression ''pompholoogopaphlasmasin'', quoting "an onomatopeic line from Aristophanes".〔Roskill, p337〕 When the Admiralty received this they were taken with it, and had the report circulated with the appropriate explanation.
