What I mean is post your own personal ways in which you alter the meaning of characters in order to make them more memorable
ex: lots of people on this site use 人 as "Mr T"
some of mine are:
夂＝hard gay
人＝喧死狼（kenshiro)
歓、権（the Pegasus radical ) = a kind of black theastrel like pegasus figure which breathes fire
(video containing hard gay
)
(video containing Kenshiro(violent)
）

Ah sorry about that, I thought this thread was too irrelevant for that, thanks Fabrice

I can't possibly be the first to think of this -- but when I first encountered 壮 and had to couple "turtle" and "samurai," I couldn't help immediately thinking of "teenage mutant ninja turtle." Which I've used ever since.
EDIT: I didn't make them up, but can I just add that I am loving the "yo momma" jokes? Many thanks to whoever submitted "Yo momma so obese, she make the moon change direction!" for 肪. I will surely never forget this one now, so keep those jokes coming!
Though they are definitely not for the easily offended!...
