Lead

Mnemonic

You hold gold fins in your mouth while shopping for pencil lead at the store. This pencil lead store only accepts gold fins as payment, but your fins don’t fit in your pockets and you need your hands to carry the lead so the gold fins go in your mouth.

Imagine having these gold fins in your mouth. Taste the metal as your tongue runs over them.
