I had too many customers get confused when I asked, “and that is pudenda spelled P as in Papa, U as in Uniform…” customer interrupts, “why are you talking like a radio?”
Had a regular that would spell it in NATO, and said he served in artillery. Heard just fine on his good ear, tinittus was just a low hum.
Q-cumber looks like a name for a tech startup which name was chosen as a bet or something like that.
I bet they manufacture AI-enabled vibrators
“At Q-cumber, we bring the innovation and synergy of AI into the bedroom, to maximalize your pleasure in the bed, either with a close partner or not.”
Which entitles Benedikt Cumberbatch to an unencumbered cucumber cumberbund.

I used to have to be on the phones A LOT, and when I was requested to do this I would use the “Pasta Phoenetic” alphabet. You wouldn’t believe how many different types of pasta there is!
Google isn’t finding anything for me, did you make it up yourself?
Haha, yes I did. I ended up making a list for my coworkers… I do remember like 3 or 4 letters with no real match, so had to get creative with those.
I can remember one time:
“P for Potato”,
“B for… err… i dunno, Botato?”.
Potato
Botato
Brother the explicit purpose of the phonetic alphabet is to make all of the letters audibly distinguishable by ensuring none of them rhyme
Yet I’ve had someone tell me “P for Pear” which did not answer my question “B or P?”
I wish more people knew the Geneva standard phonetic alphabet or whatever the fuck it’s called
I once had a client tell me, “T as in… T.”
Yeah, that was helpful.
I mean surely it was “T as in Tea”
Or maybe “T as in Tee”
“T for Terrorist”
The CS Representative I was talking to: “Sir, this is an Airline”
Be sure to use L for Luigi when verifying info over the phone with your health insurance.
P for Pterodactyl
S for Sea
W for Why
E for Eye
G for Gnu
J for Jalapeño
You’re missing a few good ones.
A for An
C for Cay
I for In
K for Knight
N as in No (a few of these work with “as in” but not with “for”)
O as in Other
P as in Pose
Q for Qing (since Jalapeño is allowed)
T for The
X as in Xi Jinping
T as in tsunami.
P as in phone.
K as in knife or knee.
G as in gnostic.
X as in xylophone.
D as in djembe.
M as mnemonic.
O as in opossum in certain locales.
T as in tardigrade
“K for knight, P for pterodactyl, G for gnome”
There’s a World’s Worst Alphabet Book that has those.
I personally like the words that sound like other letters: A as in Aye, E as in Eye, S as in See.
I think the E word in that book is Eye lol.
I was frustrated with the phone support agent and used ‘S, as in Stupid’ and I got hung up on.
“H as in hilarious”
