Mike & Nuala S Mnemonic Book

Mike & Nuala’s Mnemonic Book

50 of our best mnemonics for common word stems and other assorted lists.

This book was compiled by Mike O’Rourke © 2004 2nd Edition M.O’Rourke © 2007 – with new words added 3rd Edition M.O’Rourke © 2012 – with CSW12 words added, 1 deleted, 1 mnemonic changed & many thanks to Nick Deller who did the research.

Introduction:

This book shows the Word stems, mnemonics, any instructions, then the list of words made. Some words will be duplicated in other mnemonics but this adds to the study aid.

The inclusion of a mnemonic does not mean that the authors or the compilers mean any disrespect or offence to any person living or dead. These are only study aids so if any one takes offence our advice is to get a life!

If a stem word is given in (brackets), do not include the letters of this word when revising the resulting words.

The editor is not responsible for any missing words which may have been excluded by accident. However, some words will be repeated in other lists. The size of each of these wordsets makes them ideal for adding to the cardbox facility of Zyzzyva ®.

Most mnemonics will use all the letters of the mnemonic to make a new word with the given stem word. However, there are some exceptions such as LADIES+1 and the front hooks to AFF.

Credit has been given to the original authors of the mnemonics by the inclusion of a code:

MOR/NOR Mike O’Rourke /Nuala O’Rourke BBJJ Barbara Brown & Jake Jacobs ML Mark Lane PA Phil Appleby PF Peter Finley (RIP) JM Jackie McLeod AJS Allan Simmons HG Helen Gipson ND Nick Deller Anon Not sure who the author was +mor Changes made to original mnemonic

All words are taken from the latest edition of Collins Scrabble Words®

Goes with all the letters of

“VULGAR MEN FART WHEN THEY'VE HAD ZE BEANS”

(In the next edition of the word list I am hoping that a new word will be included which allows EATINGS to go with I – this will enable me to use “HEINZ” instead of “ZE”!). Please feel free to suggest words which would make this possible and try to get them into common parlance! An example would be GAINIEST (the superlative form of a person who strives to ‘keep up with the Joneses’?)

38. Word Stem: RACIEST

Such is the skill demonstrated by Barbara Brown in constructing these mnemonics that when Jake picked out RACIEST and bet that she couldn’t make a sensible mnemonic when the only vowel available was a U, it took her barely 20 minutes to come out with this one. There is no racism intended.

Although most people will know all 95 of the 8 letter words that you can make from RETAINS+1, still the mnemonic is so truly awesome that it is included here with a residual sense of wonder. The fact that it is coincidentally number 42 in my list does not go unnoticed!
