      Something more lighthearted:

      My wife has been doing a project that requires her to get people's information over the phone much more than usual. This leads to her and them using unofficial phonetic alphabet terms ("A as in aardvark" instead of "A as in alpha"). This is usually fine except when they choose a word that is ambiguous or just a word not known to the other party. Someone said "V as in Veya" to her, and we still don't know what a Veya is.

      This got me thinking about what inappropriate words you could use. I suggested "V as in Vasectomy".

      So how about it, Tilderists? What are your "wrong answers only" suggestions for a NOGO phonetic alphabet?
