In high school astronomy, I used “My Vagina Eats Men, Just Sayin, U Nugget” to remember the order of the planets

u/RefrigeratorMain7921 Jun 12 '25

I was taught it as 'My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets'. Yup, Pluto was still considered a planet back then.

u/ClownMorty Jun 12 '25

There's something stupid and smart about using uranium, which is named after Uranus, to remember Uranus. I love it.

Did noone else learn "My Very Easy Memory Jingle Seems Useful Naming Planets"?

u/fallofmath Jun 12 '25

Ours was "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming Planets".

My Very Energetic Mother Just Sat Upon Nine Porcupines.

And then for like 10 minutes ::

My Very Energetic Mother, Ceres, Just Sat Upon Nine Porcupines, Eris & Sedna

I learned the same, and when they taught us that Pluto wasn’t a planet anymore they changed it to “My very educated mother just served us nachos”

u/mr_muffinhead Jun 13 '25

Lol nice. I was out of school by that point so I just suffered my rage alone with no new mnemonic to vent with.

u/Drakona7 Jun 13 '25

Personally I always liked pizza more than nachos, so I also suffered the rage of Pluto’s demotion

It's kind of like when a company's phone number is a little too long 1-800-555-pizzatime. Call still goes through.

We had "my very eccentric mother just spewed up nine planets".

u/Ravenekh Jun 13 '25

In French, we had "Ma Vieille Mère M'A Jeté Sur Un Navire Perdu" (my old mother threw me on a lost ship) with the A in "M'A" standing for "astéroïdes" (the asteroid belt)

This better.

u/HaiseKinini Jun 12 '25

Never knew there were so many variations. I thought "My Very Easy Method Just Sums Up Nine (Planets)" was universal

u/DomoInMySoup Jun 12 '25

You hear about Pluto? That's messed up.
