Finding Mnemo

May 18, 2007 23:39

...been studying acupuncture points, and trying to come up with nmenomics short phrases to go with them so I'll remember all their functions.

There's one with three particularly disparate functions: It loosens rigidity of the tongue, it is used to treat hemorrhoids, and it's used for pain in the foot and ankle.

The nmneumonic? "Shoe Horn"

Why Shoe Horn? Well, for one thing, a shoe horn looks vaguely like a tongue. Also, think of what kind of person uses a shoe horn; I picture a middle aged overweight man with a black tie and a desk job. He probably has hemorrhoids. Also, since he has to use a shoe horn, his shoes are probably too tight, and thus he probably has pain in the foot and ankle.

Ain't pneumatics, nematode, pneumonics great?!
