How did I know that it would be something dirty?

The one our anatomy teacher taught us:
On old Olympus' towering top a fat vicious goat violated a hat.

Actually, if you make the last five words: ooottaf Veronica's Glossy Vagina And Hymen the words are closer to the names of the nerves.
remembered something else
some say marry money but my brother says big boobs matter more.
If it starts with an M, it has motor functions, S = sensory, B = both

Anna did not tell you that one? She or Dr. Lee was the one who told me.
I just had an (undergrad) anatomy practical and knew all my nerves! My teacher told us one similar to that one:
On old Olympus towering top a Finn and* German viewed a hop.
*Of course it's not Auditory anymore it's vestibulocochlear, but remembering that those are related to auditory helped me anyway.
I think a dirty one might me more memorable, though!
yeah... try to forget that one...
we had a nice, let me say religious woman tell us this one. too funny.
a couple years later, our physiology lecturer put it on a slide. our lectures are recorded, and when someone asked him to read it, he refused. wonder why...

The one I remembered was:
Students Seldom Manage Money But Mike Basically Saves Bucks Becauses Mikes Married

Exactly! What good are the contorted, clean mnemonics when you remember the dirty ones better anyway?
Yes, I learned to Olympus one in undergrad, and a few years ago, i actually used the cranial nerves to remember the damn mnemonic!
👍👍👍
We do? I use the "big boobs" version of that mnemonic.
I will NEVER forget the cranial nerves or their functions. Everything else is probably slipping away at varying rates, but that? That's in for good. 🙂
That's why I use mnemonics all the time. 
Off topic, but I was thinking about mnemonics and I remember this from high school:
sine cosine cosine sine cosine cosine sine sine sign!
My teacher went around the room and we all had to say it like a cheer. I can't remember what it means now, though...

LoL
Sin(a+b)=Sina Codb + Cosa Sinb
Sin(a-b)=Sina Cosb - Cosa Sinb
Cos(a+b)=Cosa Codb - Sina Sinb
Cos(a-b)=Cosa Cosb + Sina Sinb
I remember "sine sine cosine sine! 3.14159!"
That was from 3rd Rock from the Sun. 🙂

Remember this for the eye:
**DO4 LR6 AO3**
Dorsal Oblique - 4 (trochlear)
Lateral Rectus - 6 (Abducent)
All Others - 3 (Oculomotor)
Some others:
PAGE the OBTURATOR (P.A.G.E. are the muscles innervated by the Obturator nerve)
DTT --> AXILLARY (it rhymes - D.T.T. are the muscles innervated by the Axillary nerve)
BOST = Accessory Nerve
PZ = G (Palatine and Zygomatic salivary glands are innervated by Glossopharyngeal - also rhymes when you say it) all other salivary glands plus the lacrimal gland are Facial N.
LIMBA - these are the branches of the Mandibular nerve V3
PIMMSZ - these are the branches of the Maxillary nerve V2
IF - branches of Opthalmic V1
CAN TOM HOP - the order of the pharyngeal muscles: Crico, Thyro and Hyo. Also remember Crico is Caudal (both begin with "C")
Helped me immensely on my dog anatomy final today!

VI also innervates the retractor bulbi.
Then there's this one (modify as needed to rhyme with school name):
e^x dx dy, e^x dx. secant, cosine, tangent, sine, 3.14159. PI! PI! Radical Mu! Beat 'em, Beat 'em MTU!
Yes, I'm a nerd. I didn't remember the exact sequence, so I googled it.
This one obviously not written by a married man. I told my wife that it's a good thing she's going to be a pharmacist because she's expensive. I cite the $50 she spends on her friend's b-day present. Guys stop getting their friends b-day presents after about age 8. 😀
LOL. In my experience that is cause guys spend the money on thier own new toys! I gave up even trying to figure out gifts for my husband because if he even thinks he wants something he is likely to get it for himself.

Guilty as charged. For some reason, she doesn't beleive me when I tell her it's for both of us - like more hard drives or motorcycle parts for "her" vintage BMW that she can't ride yet.
Seriously never heard that one before. Hah!
Apparently "I" need a new graphics card so that "I" can play Left for Dead II... uh-huh...
Boys. 🙄

It actually is her motorcycle. She wanted a BMW with a sidecar. I wanted a '64 Triumph Bonneville. She won. She also doesn't have a license, so I have to exercise the bike every week or so. Life is full of compromises.

This one I learned tries to implement the first two or three letters of the nerves into the words.
