Are we 100% sure people use this? Well, we want to believe so. If not, congratulations, you are about to have exclusive access to very odd and funny mnemonics and acronyms. 🤯🔒💯

Let’s start with the basics: a mnemonic is a technique or strategy consciously used to improve memory; it’s usually a rhyme, a visual cue, or a sentence. Think of it as brain code you use to remember complex stuff by making it catchy, silly, or weird enough that it sticks.

On the other hand, an acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial letters of a phrase, and it’s usually pronounced as a word, like NASA, for example.

Your brain remembers the funny and vivid stuff, making it more likely for you to store them forever. That’s why classics like “Never Eat Soggy Waffles” or “My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nachos” have stood the test of time. So get ready, because this trivia is not to memorize things: it is to laugh while doing it! 😂

Welcome to the odd, funny world of mnemonics, and let’s see how many out of the 22 questions you can get right!

    For many of these, it's easier to just remember the thing than than to remember the mnemonic.

    Most of those I'd never heard of, as the words vary from country to country. Disappointed that the famous mathematical volcano, SOHCAHTOA was not included. I still remember (and occasionally use) that one!

    ROYGBIV was familiar to me, we used Never Eat Shredded Wheat for points of the compass, Pemdas unknown to me, bodmas was not in general use when I left school, most of the others I've never heard of or had a use for, so a miserable fail for me!
