Mnemonic


[di-] Diddy Kong is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is 奠 establishing his own little mini store within the store. He puts on some 丷 horns and puts a 大 big 酉 bottle in the middle of the bathroom, and writes on it: "Diddy Kong's 大 Big 酉 Bottle Store". And underneath that: "奠 established by Diddy Kong, right now". I don't think the pawn shop owner is going to allow someone 奠 to establish a competing store within their own store, but you do you Diddy.
