Mnemonic aids

[MyPatronusIsAnOrca]

I was helping my DS with the colours of the rainbow and used the Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain as a way of remembering.

He thought it was magic!

Can I ask what’s your best mnemonic aid?

Mine was “My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets” (until Pluto got downgraded!)

Keven Please Come Over For Gay Sex

Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Carpal bones have a few:

Not sure if this counts but this is a maths one..

Hey ho diddly d, the ring round the moon is pie times d, but if the hole you want repaired, the formula is pie r squared.

Not quite in the same vein but

(Neither of which, I appreciate, are mnemonics)

Mrs Vandampert/ Drapers Van MMT-
French verbs that take etre as an auxiliary in the simple past

Roy G Biv- colours of the rainbow

Unfortunately there isn't a rat in desperate! There is one in separate though?

There is a rat in desperate... and I don't think Pluto is a planet, it was then it wasn't then it was now it isn't again and hasn't been for a while. I think. Maybe. It's Friday. I'm tired.

The lines of the stave for the treble clef:
Every Good Boy Deserves Food (used to make me a bit )
Then there was Every Good Boy Deserves Football (which also made me because I was a seven year old feminist )
So now it's Every Great Burger Demands Fries (which makes me hungry but at least isn't excluding anyone for anything)

Our 'because' was always Big Elephants Can't Always Use Small Exits

@BayTrees the order of the sharps and flats one is:

Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle and read backwards gives the order of the flats.

I also like Father Christmas Gives Dad An Electric Blanket, and Blanket Explodes And Dad Gets Cold Feet
