The phonetic alphabet beloved of police forces and air traffic control was originally developed by NATO so that its forces could pass information unambiguously in the heat of battle.

But What If NATO had not been the dominant force behind the phonetic alphabet. What if neuroscientists, comedians, swearers, politicians or even non English speakers had come up with the initial idea which then spread virally much in the same way that the NATO codes have?
The Challenge is to name a source and reflect its essence in the make up of an alternative phonetic alphabet.
