Ham Radio Funny Phonetics
Amateur radio operators are supposed to use the standard phonetic alphabet to make their call signs understandable. My old ND8O would be November Delta Eight Oscar. But it's more fun to make up your own. My G-rated one was Never Drop Eight Oranges. For the more bawdy buddies I talked with on the ham bands, there was Nancy Developed Eight Orgasms.

My phonetics: KA9 Tender Innocent Virgin. I tried that one out with a guy in Indiana who turned out to be a preacher. One with a great sense of humor, I might add.
ReplyDeleteThen there was N9FLO, and everyone just naturally called me "Flo."
Then there was KD9 Wet Pants, thanks to Mr. Darn Near Dead, in his nineties at the time.
But I never did think up anything good for NN9E. After she developed 8 orgasms, Nancy Needed 9 Eves (as in those pretty cigarettes). Nah? Nimrod Nettled 9 Elephants? Never Nibble 9 Eggplants.
