Mnemonic


[n-] Ned Flanders is [2] inside the [-ao] barn, playing Go with a 扌 finger. When it is waiting for its turn, the 扌 finger will idly 撓 scratch the 堯 Go board or itself, causing Ned to get distracted. Annoyed, Ned uncharacteristically blurts out "This 撓 scratching business diddly-won't-do!", while unconsciously 撓 scratching his own head out of bewilderment.
