Q. What are the dirtiest cranial nerve mnemonics?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Cranial nerve mnemonics are an easy way to remember the names and associated functions of the 12 cranial nerves. Unfortunately, some of them can be a bit crude or offensive. Here are three of the most commonly used "dirtiest" cranial nerve mnemonics for your reference:
On Old Olympus’ Towering Top, A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops: This mnemonic is meant to correspond with the order of each of the 12 cranial nerves (with Ol being olfactory, O stands for optic, etc.). It attempts to explain their roles by comparing them to scenes from Greek mythology but unfortunately includes a vulgar word in “hops."
Six pairs Big And Small Make Love While Rick Steals All: In this case, each letter represents a different type of nerve (with B representing both oculomotor and abducens). This mnemonic is considered among one of the dirtiest due its explicit language.
Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Boobs Matter More: Just like before, each letter here corresponds with another type of nerve—but it also uses sexualized language that might make some readers uncomfortable.
There you have it! Those are three common examples of so-called “dirty” cranial nerve mnemonics that have been around for years—although we wouldn't necessarily recommend using any these in polite discussion or even professional contexts! Ultimately though, if they help you remember information more effectively then use them as needed; just keep any cruder interpretations between yourself and your closest circle only!
