"So long to pinky, here comes the thumb."
But others have nothing to do with the subject, and you'd think it would take just as much effort to remember what it's supposed to be helping you remember:
"Never let my empire burn"
"Suzy Taylor loves sex and pot"
"Cadavers are dead people"
"Randy Travis drinks cold beer"
And yet, I doubt I'll ever forget what these stupid little phrases helped me remember.
If you can think of any more to add, post them in a comment - I am on the lookout for the most ridiculous mnemonic ever (bonus points if you know what any of mine mean without using Google, and double bonus points if you caught and laughed at my stupid pun. I'm not sure what bonus points from me are worth - probably less than a Schrute buck).
could it really be that hard to remember "cadavers are dead people"?
ReplyDeleteNo, that's not hard to remember. But why does that help me remember the "clavicular, acromial, deltoid, and pectoral" arteries that come from the thoracoacromial trunk, which I remember as the T in Suzy Taylor?
ReplyDeleteWhich is more convoluted - memorizing the vessels themselves or the mnemeonics and what they stand for?
I have to hand it to you on your pun.
ReplyDeleteYou're the man.
There are several other vivid and not-approved-in-PG-rated-blogs mnemonics, some of which I'm sure you've heard. I'll have to think about the most ridiculous one I've heard.
