Two classics! Done them both.
<Phalarope>
Reminds me of two botanical words: Liriope (yes, I pronounced it LEE-ree-ope) and clematis (still not sure which way to say that one; grew up with cle-MA-tis, my gardening buddies all use CLEM-uh-tis). My mnemonic device for remembering Liriope is that it rhymes with calliope.

Love that. A friend from North Carolina says "awl" for oil; cracks on me for saying OY-ill.
