I'm listening to the Downriver station and one of their codes was "Boy George Zebra". No joke.

Police and military use words beginning with the same initial to avoid confusion spelling names or license plates.
BGZ 123 = Boy George Zebra 123

Same concept, different lists. The military version would be "Baker Golf Zulu" and "Mike Romeo Juliet Oscar November Echo Sierra".
