Mnemonic


[s-] Spongebob is in [1] front of the [-_] house where he is blowing off some steam. He uses a 斤 hoe to repeatedly hit a 其 clothes hamper while yelling loudly at the 其 clothes hamper till he is 嘶 hoarse. Done and exhausted, Spongebob lies on the lawn. His 口 mouth is so 嘶 hoarse that his usual squeaky voice has been replaced with a voice of someone who has chain smoked cigarettes for decades - that's how 嘶 hoarse it is.
