U is for Umlaut
An umlaut is a symbol that is written over vowels in German and some other languages to indicate the way in which they should be pronounced. For example, the word 'für' has an umlaut over the u.

Y is for You'll (often confused with Yule, during a specific season in the Northern Hemisphere. We don't hear "you'll tide", by choice in December often, as we wouldn't comment, "If you eat an entire fruitcake in one sitting, Yule regret it." Although you will. We have to be careful. You'll and Yule. It's as clear as the written word).

C is for Carnage (what's left after the 'it' is tossed aside in the throw away culture. Bodies strewn everywhere. Yes, strewn).

F is for Fu Manchu
Dr Fu Manchu is a fictional villain who was introduced in a series of novels by the English author Sax Rohmer during the first half of the 20th century. The character was also extensively featured in cinema, television, radio, comic strips and comic books for over 90 years and he has also become an archetype of the evil criminal genius and mad scientist, while lending his name to the Fu Manchu mustache.

I is for Igloo (easily constructed in Colorado with the snow that is forecast to dump on the State. The U-word was stated clearly. You've been warned. Expect all of I-25, and parts of I-70 to be closed. Not a great tourist moment).
