This looks similar to Bubble Babble (look at ssh-keygen -B, or the Wikipedia page). This method's advantage would seem to be that it's feasible to do by hand, but I'm not sure that the chosen set of words would actually reduce errors when read aloud compared to just reading off hex digits.

Bubble Babble has its own set of pronunciation issues, but it does have checksumming as part of the spec...a big advantage for the suggested use-case.
