Meaning

Rowboat

Mnemonic

A boat owned by a Yoga King needs to be able to let him keep doing his exercises while he's on it. That's why his boat is a rowboat, so he can work on his yoga arms as he gets around.

Picture the Yoga King rowing a rowboat. Maybe he's using his legs. Maybe he's using his butt? You don't know. Yoga people are super flexible, he could be using anything to move this rowboat.

Mnemonic

As he rows the rowboat with his butt, you see the Yoga King eating something with his toes. They're tater tots (てい). Tater tots are the perfect snack for a rowboat. They're small, delicious, and they float if you drop them in the water.

Go rent a rowboat and try eating tater tots in it. For fun, throw a bunch of them in the water and watch them float. Maybe you'll catch a fish!
