My favorite is p as in pneumonia.

P as in pterodactyl would be more sinister since t and p sound the same.

Came for the meme.

Upvoted for the SG1 reference

Edit: Nevermind. I am old and did not have my glasses.

I thought U was for Urgo.

How did Bravo and Lima survive?

I forgot what the “U” was once and just said “Uhhh…fuckin… UGANDA”

This is a joke alphabet, it's made to be as confusing as possible for most letters. :p

I suggest reading the others too for a laugh.

'S' spelling as Sea (pronounced 'C' ) and so on, should also feel confusing

Why didn't they use Night for N?
