I made a cheat sheet of these words and taped it to my monitor.

When I was a kid, I worked a telephone customer service job. And I was more of a smart-mouth that I am today (and I guess I'd like to think less mature, too). Occasionally, we would need to spell out things over the phone, and we reserved a few special versions of these for customers that we did not like:

  • 'E' as in Euclid

  • 'P' as in 'Pneumonia'

  • 'M' as in 'Mnemonic'

  • 'T' as in 'Tsunami'

If you allow acronyms, you could add

DDR

SQL
UUID
XML

and plenty of others I'm sure (CWP, IWP, PDF, URL, PSOS, GTRR, HTML, ...).
