I know these... And for 20 years I refuse to use any, its way funnier to hear the cringe on the other side.

Bonus points to use things that sound like other things for example: "K as in Knife"

    Yesssssss And depending what part of the world you are talking to you can also pronounce the "J" hard in Jalapeno to really get people going. I used to have to do this all the time over the phone in my old job and still have a chuckle about it.
