Inappropriate Phonetics
The use of an alternative phonetic alphabet, by those not having a grasp of the correct substitutions, using inappropriate words. These words usually being rude, crass or parts of the anatomy. The best time one should opt to use Inappropriate Phonetics would be when communicating by poor phone connection to a faceless call centre.
Example:
Yes I confirm my forename is John, that is Jism-Orgasm-Horny-Nuts, and my surname is Smith, that is Scrotum-Muff-Idiot-Twat-Hard.... Oh, you say you don't appreciate my inappropriate phonetics - how about we revert to the english alphabet and you could listen more carefully...

Phonetically Challenged

Example:
If Jane had spelled upholstery correctly her English teacher would not have asked what "upulstry" was. She was teased by her classmates for the rest of the year for being phonetically challenged. poor spelling texting phonics

Phonetically embarrassed
When you are extremely ashamed of how you have poorly pronounced something you previously thought you had mastered.
Example:
