What do these important initials from April 15th stand for?

[AviatorTom]

Today, April 15th, is tax day in the US. It's also the day, 123 years ago, when the RMS Titanic sank after striking an iceberg on her maiden voyage.

Everyone knows the Titanic's story. But do you know what RMS stands for?

Please vote in the poll.

Royal Marine Ship

Real Metal Steel

Royal Motor Ship

Royal Mail Ship

Regal Motorized Ship

None of the above - tell us what it really stands for

[Massageman]

(Since it was to be used for "mail" in its official capacity), that was part of the problem since the T only had lifeboats for a fraction of the passengers.

[msc545]

It stands for Royal Mail ship since it was apparently carrying or could carry mail for Britain.

RMS = Root Mean Square.
The method of working out the power dissipated in AC electrical circuits is one application of this term Where the sinusoidal wave form of electrical current is averaged out by squaring the values of it so it's all positive numerically, then divided by 2 as an average from max^2 to 0 then the square root is taken to give a value that can be used to determine power (same is done for the voltage of an AC power source).

Royal

Majesty's

Ship

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl

But she doesn't have a lot to say

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl

But she changes from day to day

I wanna tell her that I love her a lot

But I gotta get a belly full of wine

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl

Someday I'm gonna make her mine, oh yeah

Someday I'm gonna make her mine

Really Messy Sandwiches? you know, because trying to make sandwiches on a ship bobbing up and down in the ocean gets kinda messy.

Rate My Schlong? uh... isn't it a well-known fact that the men on the ship lined up to have the women rate their weeners on this voyage? I think it's historical fact.

Really Mediocre Service? Self-explanatory but the ship told us in the name they wouldn't really be that great at catering to the passengers.

RMS Stands for 'Royal Mail Ship' because it carried British Royal Mail Letters and Packages.

[Screenwriter]

Means the Titanic also had the highly important job of delivering the mail across the Atlantic.

[strateguy632]

I guess other like hms', royal majesty ship.

[Anonymous]

Probably none of the above. Or maybe royal mail ship.

There is someone who died on Titanic who was still getting Social Security.

[AviatorTom]

Social Security wasn't established until 20 years after the Titanic sank. Care to provide evidence, or are you just trolling?

[David318578]

Pretty sure that was a Joke Tom.

[AviatorTom]

@David318578 Then how about not posting it anonymously, which implies the poster is being serious, and put a funny emoji at the end, which implies a joke. Problem is, some people will believe this, repost it, and before you know it, it will go viral.

[David318578]

Because liberals don't seem to be able to take a joke I guess?
You would think that anyone in the government that is cutting down of fraud and government waste would be universally loved by all tax payers regarding on what side of the political spectrum they are on.
But for some stupid reason because it's Elon doing it, it's hated, and any silly joke about it will also be met with hatred.

Add in the insane fascist behavior of the modern liberal and it's understandable why people post anon

Royal Mail Steamer/Ship.

Royal Mail Ship.

[purplepoppy]

I thought everyone knew this.

[AviatorTom]

@purplepoppy As much as I study history, I didn't know this. I thought it was Royal Merchant Ship and was surprised when I saw it in a news item. That's why I posted the question.

[Abbi_T]

I think it stands for Royal Mail Steamer
