"ph" Words to Avoid Like the plague

I try to avoid these ph words as much as possible, but sometimes you just can't avoid them. I really wish there were alternative words for each of them. But there just aren't. And I hate that.

pamphlet, amphitheater, camphor

Okay, I really never need to say the word "camphor." And there is one "ph" word that I can always avoid:

"phat"

I'm embarrassed to even type it. That's the only time I ever will.
