[Blue Tile Spook]

I heard one on NCIS tonight that made me think of one of my oft-used expressions:

"He skated out on it."

Wifey just pointed at me and laughed as we have been discussing this thread over the last two days.

i think he was just pointing out all the letters that could be made to sound like other letters depending on what word you phonetically assign to them.

 

[ATM]

Just some examples in alphabetical order.

You could use most of them to spell SIDEWAYS if you wanted.
