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!"

And Here I thought “Eselbruke” meant “Donkey Dentures”.
