    Never eat soggy wheat.

    X is a-cross, Y is high.

    First you live your life right (X coordinate is distance to the right) and then you go up to heaven (Y is distance up, so x,y coordinates mean right, up).

    FOIL (First, outside, inside, last)  (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

    i.e. = "in essence" = one defining thing

    e.g. = "egg xamples" = many potential things

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    SOH CAH TOA and FOIL are both useful ones to me

    see I hate this one because the mnemonic is just saying the thing you need to know

    How about the way I learned it.

    Start with your left hand.

    The knuckle of your pinky on your left hand is January:  31 days
    the space between that knuckle and the knuckle of your ring finger is february:  28 days
    And so on and so on, knuckles are 31 days, spaces are 30.  Skip from july to august, left-hand to right hand.
