Acronyms and Funny Ways to Remember things

berlylabs

Looking for new ways to remember stuff. For example, for OSI I've heard All People Seem To Need Data Processing. Well, I studied CS in college and wrote out the letters before I knew this and I have no idea why but my roomate came up with Pretty Dancers Never Talk Smack in PA (pennsylvania), don't judge me but it stuck. Anyway, also don't judge, but to remember that it's bits, then frames, then packets, then segments, then the rest are data, I came up with Big Friends Play Slowly (I know it's stupid but it's memorable). I'm curious if anyone else has come up with any other funny acronyms or saying to remember key concepts.

The correct layer 2 PDU is a frame, not a fragment.

OSI Model (Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away):
(A)way - Application (Data)
(P)izza - Presentation (Data)
(S)ausage - Session (Data)
(T)hrow - Transport (Segment)
(N)ot - Network (Packets/Datagram)
(D)o - Data Link (Frames)
(P)lease - Physical (Bits)

TCP/IP Model (Not In The Ass) As my exgf's would say:
(A)ss - Application
(T)he - Transport
(I)n - Internet
(N)ot - Network Interface


Sorry if this offends anyone. Just how I remembered it.

Heard the pizza one (and a couple others for the OSI model. Don't think I've ever seen one for the TCP model. Now, though...I don't think I'll ever forget it. Thanks!

Yeah, I never heard of one either for the TCP/IP model so that popped into my head when I way trying to figure one out lol.

Yes thank you! It was late when I posted this and I think i was half thinking frames and half thinking segments haha. Thank you for noticing. I've edited it to be right.
