A quick take on it:
function randomLetter() : String
{
const noVowels : String = "BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXYZ";
return noVowels.charAt(Math.round(Math.random() *
(noVowels.length - 1)));
}
function repeat(n : Number, f : Function) : Array
{
return n > 1 ? repeat(n-1, f).concat(f()) : [f()];
}
var result : String = repeat(4, function() : String { return
repeat(3, randomLetter).join(""); }).join("-");
