Killing time before a meeting

If you are in a meeting but can't start it until one last person arrives, take their phone extension and try to make a word out of it -- or, an anagram that has funnier connotations.
 
For example, If your extension is 2453, that spells BIKE. My extension is 2524, which is BLAH, matching my personality. That's good for a laugh -- although whether they are laughing with me or at me is sometimes unclear ;)
 
One day when Rita was late we figured out that her extension, 2883, spelled CUTE. Rita was insulted, in a feminist sort of way, when we pointed this out. But I later found out from her husband that she'd told him to use that as a mnemonic for her phone number, so she couldn't have been too insulted.
