Y as in You lol.
I laughed a little too hard at this.
D as in double-u
D as in [W]
Wtf is this? My eye is twitching.
I pity anyone having to read semaphores.
M as in Mancy. Thank you, Archer!
S as in Sea lol.
I as in Ian
Why is Lima correct though?
I laughed way harder than I should have. In fact, I’m still laughing 😂
Q is a little on the nose
B as in Bravo hahaha
I work on the phone all day, taking alphanumeric confirmation codes. I have heard:
E as in eye.
Y as in you
Y as in Jello (thick accent, so forgiven)
But my new fave are the people who say C as in Ciara, and when I say S as in sierra, they are confused. Makes me nuts. Also makes me say S as in Sam a lot.

I had the original NATO printout of this card. Pretty funny photoshop edit none the less.
This is bravo Oscar Lima Lima Oscar Charlie kilo sierra
I always liked “P as in Pterodactyl”
Some people want to watch the world burn.
I feel like they missed an opportunity to make R for right and W for write.
I work in customer service over the phone and am seriously considering using this for a week just to see how confused I can make customers.
B as in bravo? That’s lazy. B as in bdellium.
Used to work cable and we would use the nato alphabet to have dispatch mess with equipment when it wouldn’t work on our end. My friend, having a massive brain fart, tells the dispatcher “Alpha.. Mike….. Penis”.
r/unexpectedarcher
P as in pterodactyl
So, who revised/”improved” that? Archer or Cherlene/Cheryl/Carol…?
“M” as in “Mancy.” lol!
Danger Zone
P as in Phonetic
Amazing. My last name is 16 letters, with a bunch of silent ones. I cracked up imagining how amazingly confusing it would be to use this alphabet with my last name.
The Barenaked Ladies put an Alphabet song on their children’s album that was like this. A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar, D is for Djinn, etc.

The O as in Ouija got me giggling.
Old MacDonald had a farm Eye Eye Oh.
Duh you retards.
I read one wrong. Thought Lima was ligma 🤣🤣🤣
B and L are the only ones that’s correct
I don’t know what’s more hilarious… This joke or the comments that don’t get the joke 😆
Used to work in a call center where order numbers were alphanumeric, we made it a game to use crazy words for the letters. So AB1234 would be “a as in apple, b as in boy, 1234” etc. 14 years later, my favorite by far was “P as in pterodactyl”
At first I HATED this, then I couldn’t stop laughing 🤣😂
L as in Llandudno
E?
Eye.
……E?
Eye!
………………………Oh.
I love that this is an Archer joke
