emphasisadded:

I usually use “B as in Beyonce” and “S as in Sondheim” when doing phone-spellings

but this is way better…

and made me laugh.  Hard.

Z as in Dr. Zhivago.  That is comedy gold right there!

elle-oh-elle:

I work right next to my company’s account coordinators, who spell a lot of things on the phone for our clients. I decided to make them all an alphabet they can use to confuse [customers]. Here it is.

• A as in Aisle
• B as in Bdellium
• C as in Czar
• D as in Djembe
• E as in Eureka
• F as in Phone
• G as in Gnaw
• H as in Heir
• I as in Isle
• J as in Jicama
• K as in Knead
• L as in Llorca
• M as in Mnemonic
• N as in Mnemonic
• O as in Ouija
• P as in Pneumatic
• Q as in Qat
• R as in Right
• S as in See
• T as in Tzar
• U as in Umami
• V as in Venti
• W as in Write
• X as in Xyst
• Y as in You
• Z as in Dr. Zhivago

I’m fairly confident no one will ever use this.

Makes me think of my trading days lol.
