for longitude you could say long and latitude you could say horizontal
Lines of latitude Have flatitude. Longitudinal lines Rise like porcupines.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
Longitude lines run north to south of the Earth. Latitude lines run east to west of the Earth. (You can remember which is which by thinking of Santa Clause: LONGatude is up and down and FATatitude is across.)

Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
If you used a sextant and a marine chronometer you could determine your position and plot this on a map using latitude and longitude. If you did this regularly you would be able to plot your course.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Latitude.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Latitude and longitude
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
