English hexadecimal "magic" words

Programmers love “magic” numbers, numbers having second, often verbal, meaning. The hexadecimal digits suit perfectly here.

For instance, to form a stub number for a 16- or 32-bit value, people usually use words from the following set:

ABBE
ACED
BABE
BADE
BEAD
BEEF
BODE
CADE
CAFE
CEDE
COCA
CODA
CODE
DACE
DADO
DEAD
DEAF
DECO
DEED
DODO
FACE
FADE
FEED
FOOD
OBOE

For example:

DEADFACE
ACEDFEED  

If we don’t care about the symmetrical split, the vocabulary is a bit wider:

ABBE
ABE
ABODE
ACCEDE
ACCEDED
ACE
ACED
ADD
ADDED
ADO
ADOBE
BAA
BABE
BAD
BADE
BAOBAB

On 64-bit systems we can create almost complete sentences.

EBBEDDEADBAOBAB

Does anybody know what to say to the next, 128-bit generation?
