To - Trochlear
Touch- Trigeminal
And- Abducens
Feel- Facial
Virgin- Vestibulocochlear
Girls- Glossopharyngeal
Vaginas- Vagus
And- Accessory
Hymens- Hypoglossal
And for Which are Sensory (s), Motor (m) or both (b)
Some- I
Say- II
Money- III
Matters- IV
But- V
My- VI
Brother- VII
Says- VIII
Big- IX
Boobs- X
Matter- XI
More- XII

I haven't read the book but there are a few; two of which I remember:
the clean one: On old Olympus towering top a Finn and German viewed some hops.
the other one from back in the day when women were "girls": Oh, oh, oh, to touch and feel a girl's vagina, so heavenly.

Oh

Vagina.

Vagina
Smells
Hot.
I guess mines is a tad bit different though as the way we had to remember cranial nerves was that 11 was Spinal accessory and not just accessory.

I also used the "some say marry money" acronym.
I am in the process of finishing Hot Lights, Cold Steel and the acronym is "Oh, Oh, Oh, To Touch And Feel A Girl's Vagina, Ah, Heaven." It's a good book...I really liked Intern and Complications as well

Perhaps the creator meant what he said....... :-D
👍

And what does Mrs. Armybound have to say about that one?
all I can say about this is she comes from a well-to-do family (I don't) and I am not disappointed in her physique.And what does Mrs. Armybound have to say about that one?
My personal favorite mnemonics were for the carpals:
Some Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle
(or as my dad told me: New Lovers Try Positions That They Can't Handle)
He trained when the scaphoid was still called the navicular.
And facial nerve branches
Two Zombies Buggered My Cat
-or-
To Zanzibar By Motor Car

I thought pissing off feminists was the point.
Otherwise, wouldn't we just go with Olympus?

at my school, you will be burned at the stake if you insult a feminist. literally. you quickly learn to shy away from anything that could possibly insult anybody...especially feminists.
You'll find it's the dirty stuff that sticks.
