<p>hey I've started this thread so that we can all discuss mnemonics fro any word found we find difficult to remember. Feel free to post up a word ( but also post its meaning) </p>
<p>I'll start: Cognizant ( aware, conscious)</p>
<p>Mnemonics pls????</p>
<p>C'mon ppl gotta help each other out</p>
<p>I gotta mnemonic for cryptic ( mysterious)</p>
<p>A CRYPT is always enigmatic coz we havnt been inside it</p>
<p>Capacious - this cap is too spacious</p>
<p>Vindicate</p>
<p>*** Win the case ***</p>
<p>Intrepid - brave. audacious

<p>opposite of confident</p>
<p>Capacious</p>
<p>remember from capacity</p>
<p>egregious </p>

<p>Thnx to all those who have posted mnemonics and I request others to keep this thread going...</p>

<p>coalesce: to join or unite
the group of koalas coalesced to become one giant koala</p>
<p>conspicuous-obvious <kinda rhymes=""></kinda></p>

<p>Torpid--sluggish, dormant, inactive</p>
<p>kinda reminds me of torpedo, which is ultra fast and hence the opposite of torpid.</p>
<p>Phlegmatic
unexcitable: generally unemotional and difficult to arouse</p>
<p>It's like Phlegm...nobody really gets excited bout it ( including me whatever you may have heard)</p>
<p>lugubrious: gloomy: extremely mournful, sad</p>
<p>"rio" at the end of this word can be realated to riots. riots always create mournful situations. </p>
<p>Or at the beggining of the word there is LUG--lugging a lot a luggagge always makes me lugubrious</p>
<p>Oh no my mnemonics thread has died out. NOOOOOOO!!!!!</p>
<p>that's a shame. personally, i thought the "whatever you may have heard" part of post 17 was very funny.</p>
<p>i don't really use mnemonics, but i'll try to come up with one and post it when i do. how's that?</p>
