-Disney deer - Bambi was orphaned
-The orphanage made famous by the Beatles - Strawberry Fields
-A rhyming distress call- May Day
Damnit - this is nearly a riddle, ya bum...I can make an attempt at some of it - I am not sure of the connection - I'll get back to you.
The origin of mayday - from the French...
Merde......

If your boat is sinking - what are you more likely to scream out?

I was the Coast Guard - a Radioman - I have sat thousands of hours listening to all the calling and distress frequencies - and trust me - I have heard far worse.....
Edit to add - Like "The Midnight Motherfucker".
There was this guy - that used to key up 2.182 mhz - the MF c+d frequency - in the middle of the night - just to say "MOTHERFUCKER"....
Why? So the operators could gleefully put it on their permanent log. There was never an attempt to find him. Why mess up the fun stuff?
It wasn't me...
Honestly.
