I gotta stop doing that.

Whenever I spell my name over the phone it goes a little something like this:

mike d: The name is Mike DiDonato
operator: can you spell that for me?
mike d: sure. D – i – Capital D – o – n as in Nancy – a – t – o.
operator: thanks

Every single time I say “N as in Nancy.” I must be able to think of a more manly thing to say. As soon as I say it, I can hear the person on the other line think “heh. what a pansy.” Occasionally I include “D as in Dog”… pathetic. Really, I think the whole spell by associated word could be way better. That’s why I’m proposing the real man’s list of associated words. Learn it. Learn it well. Enough of this Nancy trash.

The Real Man’s List of Words.

A as in Apocalypse
B as in Barbeque
C as in Cocaine
D as in Demolition
E as in Excrement
F as in Fighting
G as in Guns
H as in He-man
I as in Incinerate
J as in Junkyards
K as in Kill
L as in Laceration
M as in Meat
N as in Nuke
O as in Orthodontists Ozzy
P as in Pac-man
Q as in Quest
R as in Rock
S as in Sin
T as in Tyrannosaurus
U as in Uranium
V as in Vin Diesel
W as in Waco
X as in X-men
Y as in Yacht
Z as in Zombie

I will start using this from now on.

    I think Sander’s thinking of FLAN. Flaun and Flawn aren’t words. But Flan? flan is a delicious custard.
