Karen in CO Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 The only ones I can think of are BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) which is what you eat when you're tummy is upset and RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) which is what we do for sprains and such. Hmm, educational ones would be good. Maybe I should ask my ask my doctor for some, apparently I only rememember the ones he teaches me.

GailV Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 And one I still remember from Hort classes in college: C HOPKNS CaFe Mg (variously "See Hopkin's Cafe -- mighty good!" or "C. Hopkins, cafe manager" or somesuch)-- the plant nutrients. If you add NaCl (as in "C. Hopkins Cafe [food tastes] mighty good with salt" you have the 13 biologically important elements.

amey311 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 King Patterson Creates Order For Goofy Students (thank you, Mr. patterson and 7th grade science). Kids Have Dropped Over Dead Converting Metrics (Kilo, Hecto, Deca, Unit, Deci, Centi, Milli). Not exactly a mnemonic, but my high school Spanish teacher always did "This and These have the Ts, That and Those do not!" Este, esta, esto, estos, estas= This and these. Ese, esa, eso, esos, esas = that and those. FOIL (First, outer, inner, last) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassoonaroo Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 SOHCAHTOA :iagree: And for PEMDAS instead of the usual Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, my programming class a year ago came up with something like Python Experts Make Dandy At-home Students (we were learning Python programming). One I remember from ages ago was People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms (PCMCIA) which is an archaic acronym meaning Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (I had to look that up tho' I could remember the People Can't... acryonym). I remember coming up with a zillion acronyms when I had to remember lists for tests at college. But that was a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
