When you spell out the letters to “you” out loud, it actually becomes a sentence, “why oh you.” Here’s some other words that when spelled out loud, the letters become sentences:
our: oh, you are
out: oh, you tee
gut: gee, you tee
ago: a gee oh (sounds like “a geo”)
and my favorite:
up: you pee
You might enjoy this book: “CDB!” by William Steig. It is made up of letters that become sentences when you read them out loud (“CDB” equals “See the Bee”) U.R.A.Q.T.! http://www.amazon.com/Cdb-William-Steig/dp/0689831609
