What is a mnemonic device for milk eggs margarine oranges rhubarb ice cream eggplant and sausage?

For remembering a long list of unrelated items like a grocery list, the best way to remember is to use a mental image mnemonic like a loci or peg list.

Loci: put one item in each part of a familiar location inside your mind, then take a mental walk. For example, you could use your house - put milk in the sink in the bathroom, eggs on the television, margarine in your video game, etc

Peg: use a rhyme like 1 is a bun, 2 is a shoe, 3 is a tree, 4 is a door, 5 is a hive, 6 is a stick, 7 is in heaven, 8 is a gate, 9 is a vine, 10 is a hen. Put a carton of milk between the halves of a bun, eggs in a shoe, margarine hanging from a tree, etc.

What is a mnemonic device for the stem aur?

It depends on if you're using "aur" to mean "ear" or to mean "gold." Here are a couple of helpful tips for you.

AUR = EAR

  • distinguish ear from eye by remembering that the "A" word goes with the word that has "A" in it ("eye" has no "A")
  • if you say "aur" out loud, it sounds a little bit like "ear"
  • remember "U hear with UR ear"
  • remember your vowels - AEIOU - Aur goes with Ear, which is the next vowel in line
AUR = GOLD
  • remember "Gold rings ARE (AUR) expensive (or pretty, or whatever you like)"
