We new NESW in Australia as "Never Eat Soggy Weet-Bix", well, at least some of us did.

I always found it easier to just remember the words directly, then a mnemonic.  There was a mnemonic I made up to remember the orders of taxonomy, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species, but I ended up remembering both very well, and never really needing the mnemonic.
