Never date a lollygagger, my grandpa always said. I could never figure it out until, at a later age, I dissected the word and put my mind in the gutter.

In the first year of medical school, in the process of learning all of the cranial nerves, several snickers were heard when the professors talked about the gag reflex ...

It took me a little while to get it - I thought I had messed up and that you were correcting me by referring to cervical vertebral nerve 7, which shoots down the arm (all the way to the middle finger, funny enough). Then I realized that you meant "CN VII".
For those trying to follow our snickering, this link to the Wikipedia entry on cranial nerves will help. FYI/FWIW, my mnemonic was the 4th one in that first list, and I figure that it will appeal to the followers of the beer thread. The MarkSJohnsons of the class liked to claim that they used other mnemonics, probably one of the ones toward the end of the list...
