I have a had time not saying that when having to clarify what letter
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…
The number of people that ask if i meant C when I say Sierra is too damn high.
My favorite was when a guy was giving me his email and said “B, as in Alabama”
Mas in Mancy!Q-cumber looks like a name for a tech startup which name was chosen as a bet or something like that.
A tech startup in the Bond universe.
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.
Cucumber is a testing framework (more or less). So I could see it as some company doing consulting. https://cucumber.io/
Pretty sure there was once a chain of salad bar type restaurants named QCumber
I have a friend who, years later, still brings up when I said “K as In Cat.” That poor customer

What’s interesting is hearing sugar for S. I looked it up and it looks like there was a different phonetic alphabet that used sugar for S. But yeah, whatever works works.

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.
It’s not that the ‘phonetic alphabet’ make any sense either though.
Why should it though, it’s just an agreed upon tool.
