Mark Jones is a multimedia designer.
His wife is a primary school teacher,
and he says he has spent a fair time of late
sitting on undersized chairs admiring the
alphabet charts on classroom walls. One day
it occurred to him that ‘I’ for Indian, one
that he remembered from childhood, had
been replaced as it is no longer politically
correct to refer to indigenous Americans as
Indians. So he determined to draw his own
ABCs, ones unlikely ever to grace a
classroom. Mark’s alphabet is definitely for
grownups as the words selected are those
that are now considered to be outside
acceptable usage (but only just). So if you wish to relearn your alphabet, but prefer A for Atom
Bomb to A for Apple, or if N for Nipple Ring appeals to you, then this deliciously naughty site
might be your thing – an alphabet composed entirely of topics and terms most adults prefer not
to wade into with children. C for Cigarettes, E for Empire, and O for Old Woman are among the
offerings. As the author himself says: “Tasteful? Maybe not. Fun? I hope so.”
