The German expression for "mnemonic" (as a noun) is "Eselsbrücke" (= "ass's bridge").
Now that I've taken care of that, let me ask: Why does everyone on t.v. pronounce it "NEW-monic" - as though spelled "mneumonic" (analogous to "pneumatic")?
Heck, even Mr. Spock mispronounced it in "City on the Edge of Forever!"

From
Star Trek (TOS): City on the Edge of Forever: Edith Keeler: If you can leave right away, I can get you 5 hours of work at 22 cents an hour.
[seeing Spock's arcing and sparking tricorder adapter]
Edith Keeler: What... what on Earth is that?
Spock: I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins.
