Because I have an uncommon first name and a monstrosity of an Italian last name, almost every time I'm speaking on the phone I get asked to spell my name. And then the panic sets in because I cannot remember if "d" is dog or diptheria or demonstrative. "G" is even worse.
I was on the phone with a hotel clerk this morning making a reservation for SB and he asked the dreaded "G as in ...." and trailed off.
G as in goat.
Did you just say goat? *snicker*
Umm, yeah. (OMG I hate your stupid face)
The lovely Beth helped me come up with a MUCH more user-friendly phonetic alphabet.
A as in Appolonia
B as in Bratwurst
C as in Conundrum
D as in Divorcee
E as in Elliptical
F as in your Mom. BOOM. (Not my fault if whoever you're speaking to hangs up) As an alternative you can also use formidable.
G as in Gelatinous
H as in Homoerotic
I as in Invasive procedure
J as in Jorge
K as in Kim Zolciak
M as in Menarche
N as in notyourproblem
O as in O-face
P as in prescription, those are prescription
Q as in Quinoa
R as in Romper room
S as in Slutty
T as in Tumultuous
U as in Uterus
V as in Victorious vagina
W as in White trash
X as in X-mas
Y as in YOLO
Z as in Zacquisha
You are welcome, world!

What does the unfriendly one look like? :P I love this one, and just might use it next time I get a call from a telemarketer.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! Did you know that the military and police have a system for all the letters. W = Whiskey T = Tango.
ReplyDeleteWe call each other Whiskey Tango. The W.T. is short for White Trash.
I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Health Home, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD.
