Hello,
I was reading the Reading Explanation for 下 and… I don’t get it.
“What’s below you? What’s below your foot? Oh no. The worst thing possible: It’s した.”
Maybe it’s because I’m French. I’m not a fluent English speaker.
Most of the time, it is ok. But for this one, I’m “lost in translation”.
What does した means?
Is it a reference? Or a pun?
Tahnk you in advance.

It’s a pun - I’ve found alot of these don’t work with a “french” brain. Try coming up with your own it’ll help immensely
Aaaaah… ok.
I see.
My mind was too prudish.
Turn slang mode ON
Thank you dirty comrades.

Honestly, that’s pretty much the key to every mnemonic used here - they’re meant to be an aid to your learning, so if they’re not actually aiding your learning, just come up with something that does.
