Mnemonic


[gu-] Goofy is in [1] front of the [-a] auditorium where he is 刮 scraping his 舌 tongue with a 刂 saber. It has a bunch of gunk on it and he wants to remove it before going to see a show. But he slips and accidentally 刮 scrapes off a decent amount of 舌 tongue skin too. He runs around yelping, goofily, as the audience members who are lined up in front laugh at his folly.
