*is looking up random mnemonics*

[conuly]

The acronym mnemonic "DOC" represents the shape of the Moon: "D" is the waxing moon; "O" the full moon; and "C" the waning moon). In the Southern hemisphere, this is reversed, and the mnemonic is "COD".

What, seriously? COOOOOOOL!

I need sleep.

The trick I saw was you attach a line, and it makes a lowercase b or d. B means born (waxing), d means dying (waning).

I've never liked it much, but it's what I remember.
