1: The Urban Phonetic Alphabet was developed in the early 1970s by 12 high school seniors appointed by a secret society known as the "The Chieftain 12" its intent was to be intelligible (and pronounceable) to all Urban allies in the heat of sexual battle. It replaced other phonetic alphabets, for example the US military "able baker" alphabet.

  * e.g.,  ... "Man Meo was the only guy to use the Urban Phonetic Alphabet in the heat of sexual battle on that Hottie JB at Walker's basement party" 

 [ "Army Alphabet ( NATO phonetic alphabet)" ]

1: The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows: Alpha, Bravo (NOT BETA), Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu. The NATO phonetic alphabet, more accurately known as the International Radio-telephony Spelling Alphabet and also called the ICAO phonetic or ICAO spelling alphabet, as well as the ITU phonetic alphabet, is the most widely used spelling alphabet, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Instead, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigned code words acrophonically to the letters of the English alphabet so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language or the presence of transmission static.

Alpha Lima Papa Hotel Alpha Bravo Echo Tango... To the people who dislike this post. Indio Delta Indigo Oscar Tango is what describes you best.. I know the Phonetic Alphabet is hard for you to decipher. But World War I & World WAR II depended on this alphabet
