"Domain, Kingdom, Phy- oh no! Kevin is right there! OK, I should ask before I forget."
due to the 'Dont Say Gay' bill my biology teacher said it was "great sex" instead of "gay sex".
literally 1984
Great (gay) sex
My friend came up with almost the exact same thing during high school. The only difference is that the DK stood for "Donkey Kong".
Can't say it wasn't memorable!
I've also said Donkey Kong for years!
Wow, my bf's name is Kenny and we love having gay sex, so this is perfect for me!
Is he a ratfucker
When I was in 9th grade our geography teacher put us in groups and assigned each of us a group of countries to memorize. We were given the task of creating a mnemonic to help us memorize. We got central America.
Panama, Costa arica, Nicaragua Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize, Mexico.
Please Call Nick He Sucks Good Butt Man.
It has been over 30 years and I've still never called Nick, but I'll never forget central America.
We had to memorise South East Asia and its capitals. You had it easy. Look up the capital of Brunei.
We weren't advised to use mnemonics
There's a particularly horrible one people used to use to remember resistor color codes-
"Bad Boys Rape Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly."
Black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white
Boomer Bigots Rely On Yellow-bellied Garbage By Vulgarizing General Wisdom
Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).
So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I've heard it before, but as "Black Boys * * *").

For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there's a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.

Black, brown, then the fucking colors of the rainbow in order, gray, white.
If you need a mnemonic to memorize that, you're gonna have some trouble actually building out your lookup table in your head of immediately knowing that red=2, yellow=4, etc.

To add to this, my dad told me that "Get Some Now" was sometimes tacked on to indicate tolerance levels. Gold (5%), Silver (10%), Nothing (0%).
What the fuck
Why didn't you make it "great" sex?
Great Community reference btw
It's pride month

My GCSE bio class taught something along the lines of "Dear kinky prostitutes, come over for great sex"
Interesting. Kevin showed up either way.
The man loves his work. You gotta admire it.
From 20 feet away with a full NBC suit and some plastic sheeting, but you gotta.

Memorable 👍
so it was for Kevin
I remember telling my bio-chem mom about ‘King Phillip Came Over For Great Spaghetti’ in middle school. Didn’t realize why she chuckled until later.
Why wouldn't you use Karen...?
It's gay sex, dummy.
So use "great".
Well now I can't remember anything!
You can’t teach kids mnemonics about straight sex anymore, because of woke.

Karen can have gay sex too, if she wants.
Well, Kevin makes more sense to have gay sex with than Karen. At least if you are male.

Reminds us of how one of our teachers taught us SOHCAHTOA:
Sex On Hard Concrete Always Harms The Orgasmic Areas.
