There is a similar one regarding Land Line Morse in the USA and 
Canada (and also some parts of Australia) where they used the 
American Morse Code in which the letter "P" is five dots.

At first an operator used to say "Take dit-dit-dit-dit-dit" or Take "Five 
Dits", but when they started having female operators they didn't want to 
offend the milder sex so they started to say "TAKE FIVE" - which meant 
the same thing.

Another word with a morse entrance - Take Five.
