Mnemonic

You want to pluck all your mohawk hair out because you're a techie (てき), and everyone at your techie job keeps making fun of you for your hair choices. "Techies should be bald!" your boss screamed. So here you are, plucking your hair out to fit in.

You didn't realize techies were so inclusive... but they just plucked and plucked at your self-esteem, until you decided to pluck your hair out of your own head.
