I was on the phone earlier today with a customer service rep and she had to give me a temporary password. She spelled out the letters in the password to me – A as in Apple, E as in Elephant, etc. Then I heard her say “B as in Dog”. I paused, wondering if she meant “D as in Dog” or “B as in Bog”. I asked her to repeat it, and she said in a clearer voice – “B for Bog”.

I found it strange that for all of the words that start with the letter B, she would choose the word Bog. It could be easily mistaken for the word Dog. Why not choose Bear, Bravo, or even Boy??
