"Domain, Kingdom, Phy- oh no! Kevin is right there! OK, I should ask before I forget."
Ah, the new Lemmy flipperoo
My friend came up with almost the exact same thing during high school. The only difference is that the DK stood for "Donkey Kong".
Can't say it wasn't memorable!
I've also said Donkey Kong for years!
Memorable 👍
so it was for Kevin
When I was in 9th grade our geography teacher put us in groups and assigned each of us a group of countries to memorize. We were given the task of creating a mnemonic to help us memorize. We got central America.
Panama, Costa arica, Nicaragua Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico.
Please Call Nick He Sucks Good Butt Man.
It has been over 30 years and I've still never called Nick, but I'll never forget central America.

I remember telling my bio-chem mom about ‘King Phillip Came Over For Great Spaghetti’ in middle school. Didn’t realize why she chuckled until later.
Why wouldn't you use Karen...?
It's gay sex, dummy.
So use "great".
Well now I can't remember anything!
You can’t teach kids mnemonics about straight sex anymore, because of woke.
I thought this was sincere for a second. Totally got past my sarcasm filter.
"Who's looking out for wealthy, white, Anglo-Saxon, evangelical, cisgendered, heterosexual men?!"
"Uh, the government?"
"Well, yeah. I meant aside from that."

Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.
Kevin likes to be used
Why didn't you make it "great" sex?
Great Community reference btw
It's pride month

There's a particularly horrible one people used to use to remember resistor color codes-
"Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly."
Black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white
Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).
So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I've heard it before, but as "Black Boys * * *").

Black, brown, then the fucking colors of the rainbow in order, gray, white.
If you need a mnemonic to memorize that, you're gonna have some trouble actually building out your lookup table in your head of immediately knowing that red=2, yellow=4, etc.
I've never clocked on that the colors are in the order of the rainbow. Mind blown that it's taken your comment to highlight this for me.
I also like that the colors surrounding are shades of lightness... cough cough let's ignore the brown.

Wow, my bf's name is Kenny and we love having gay sex, so this is perfect for me!
Is he a ratfucker
My GCSE bio class taught something along the lines of "Dear kinky prostitutes, come over for great sex"
Literally taught my son about Prince Philip a few hours ago. And learned domains is a thing now. Wish I could show him this for the serendipity but def no lol

due to the 'Dont Say Gay' bill my biology teacher said it was "great sex" instead of "gay sex".

Anybody got a sexy mnemonic that includes subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder, etc? Or, more to the point, what taxonomic system gets us to the orgy the fastest?
Didn't know Kevin was such a sub...
Sure, just tag "and subphylum, subclass, superorder, suborder" to the end, so that it's ASSSS
And you know everyone wants and ASSSS orgy
