U CANT forget how hot it is in Texas

Throughout Texas the climate can be very dry in the east and humid in the west. However, the overwhelming factor for weather in Texas is heat. You can remember this by knowing the states close to texas: Utah (for the U), Colorado (for the C), Arizona (for the A), New Mexico (for the N), and Texas (for the T). It will spell out the word “cant” in the mnemonic above.

Brion Case

Texas is a tiring state to journey across, for there are many humid, hot locations is this unacceptable state. For the many journeyers who attempt to journey across Texas, Texas himself, along with Utah, California, Arizona, and Nevada teamed up to border-spell, “U CANT” to try to get the hopeless traveler to turn back.

U CANT comprehend how exasperating Texas is.

ILL-IN-OH

Explanation- Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Look towards the nose and mouth of chef MIMAL, and try to picture him throwing up these three states. So the next three states near MIMAL’s mouth are these three states in order. The reason why it says “ILL-IN-OH” is because it is taking the beginning of each of the states and putting them together, which you are supposed to say them as if you are throwing up.

Hook a bass in Mass.

Massachusetts is on the East Coast and its very tip curves into the shape of a hook. Fishing is very popular in Massachusetts and Striped Bass are fish that are caught often. The combination of the shape of Massachusetts and the fishing makes it seem that you could “hook a fish on the tip of Massachusetts”.

24 of 37

This Mnemonic represents the area of Massachusetts where Cape Cod is located. Cape Cod is a well known area for catching cod. It says “Hook a bass in MASS, but really go for COD,” which means the hook part of Massachusetts is the central area for cod, not bass.

There are no VeNeMous snakes in Maine, it’s too cold!

VT, NH, ME

Winters in Maine can be extremely cold and in some cases brutal, so snakes are sad that they can’t go play in the snow because they’ll die. The V in venemous stands for Vermont, the N stands for New Hampshire, and the M stands for Maine.

ILL - IN - OH… (puke noise) OHIO

The states Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio are all lined up next to each other. When you puke you make the sound ill-in-oh, and those are the first letters of each of those states. So by making a sound like you're puking you can remember those three states are lined up right next to each other in that order.
