Mnemonic


[su-] Superman is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he is sharing his 酉 bottle of vintage Super 酸 Sour sauce that he just bought at the pawn shop with the 攵 foreman. They both take a sip and afterwards cannot open their mouth at all from it being that 酸 sour. In fact, the 攵 foreman can't handle it at all, so his 厶 elbows and 儿 legs fall off because it is super 酸 sour! Oops.
