      I love that show, too.

      I took the liberty of looking up adjectives that start with ‘g’ and sorted them by frequency of use. I found it amusing:

      Good

      Green

      General

      Global

      Grand

      Golden

      Guilty

      Genetic

      Gentle

      Grim

      Genuine

      Gray

      Growing

      Graphic

      Grateful

      Glaring

      Gracious

      Greedy

      Glorious

      Giant

      Grave

      Grumpy

      Gallant

      Gaudy

      Unequivocally yes.

      I got a contest going with my plant systematics cohort (8 credit hours over an academic year, that’s a lot of plant id work). We would see who could come up with the filthiest mnemonics to remember plant families and such.

      Our professor, a brilliant botanist with a filthy mind and tenure, was delighted beyond measure at how well the entire cohort did on the practical plant ID exams. But mostly he enjoyed watching our classroom discussions.

      My 9th grade Spanish teacher taught us how to remember how to say who/what/when/where/why in Spanish by putting it to the tune of Jingle Bells. To this day that’s the only thing I remember from Spanish class, so yes I can confidently confirm that they work:

      🎵 Por qué, why,
      Quando, when,
      Qué, what; donde, where.
      Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
      Quien está, who is there?

      Depends on the mnemonic. It has to flow and you have to know the steps individually. Although there was one time I spent so long trying to come up with a good mnemonic for the citric acid cycle that I just learned it and gave up.

        =

        Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

        and theyre saying they should add Domains to this (that precedes Kingdom)

      The kingdoms have changed several times, they’re basically trying to use a more accurate system based on DNA using genotyping to decide which groups are more closely related and be less reliant on behavior and appearance.

    I don’t understand why you’d ever need to know this. What is a phylum anyway? Which animals share a phylum? Are bonobos and chimpanzees in a phylum, a family, a class? And what does that tell us about their relation that we couldn’t already tell from their characteristics?

      The new thing seems to be “clades”. I’m not sure if it’s a complete replacement of the traditional taxonomy, though.

        It isn’t, it’s just a description of evolutionary descent. An additional classification instead of a replacement.

    See my stupid ass would remember the fun phrase but not the related factual word. So I’d just have phrases with no inkling what the original info was.

    due to the ‘Dont Say Gay’ bill my biology teacher said it was “great sex” instead of “gay sex”.
