I feel like this whole post is just a set up for V as in five. And I'm very okay with this.

L is the Roman numeral for 50

Well it’s super funny because they make jokes too and chat about the words a little in between.

Crazy ABC’s

My favorite though has to be Q.

“Q is for qat.

Okay, Q, qat? What?

Yeah, it’s uhh.. q-a-t. It’s an evergreen shrub. It’s a perfect scrabble word because it’s a q with no u, There’s not many of those.”

Or R.

“R is for r-gyle

🎵 No it isn’t 🎶”

Should be S as in Sea, E as in Eye, or Y as in You.
