S for.... errr S for.....

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!

I love using animals when I do this.

Queuecumber

I often use "M as in mayhem." I know it's "Mike" but that's boring.

Obligatory Monk clip

Hawaiian comedian Frank De Lima told a joke about a Filipino announcer saying somebody needed to move their car, license plate B for Bictory, L for Elephant, Q for Cucumberrrrrrr...

It's not that the 'phonetic alphabet' make any sense either though.

My eternal gratitude to anyone who can find the old Jonathan Katz stand up bit where he was spelling things out ridiculously to a 411 representative. I must have taped over my old VHS with it.

When I used it everyday I knew it by heart. Now its faded from the forefront of my mind and sometimes it just isn't worth the effort to recall it. If it mattered I would care.

Germans use ČS for "Tschechoslowakei". Yes, really − not only is Č not in the word, it's also not in the German alphabet.

I have a friend who, years later, still brings up when I said "K as In Cat." That poor customer

J as in George is my personal favorite

To make them really uncomfortable, use your sluttiest code words.

D as in Daddy, M as in Mummy, H as in Harder, P as in Pineapple, that's my safe word, I've never had to use it...

Y is for Yuganda 😅. It’s happened to me during my time in call center.
