OBAFGKMN

Anyone recognised this mnemonic? If you do then you know something about Astronomy and can probably tell me what it stands for. OBAFGKMN is the spectral types of stars in order as seen on the Hertzsprung Russell Diagram (don't start me on that I know like 10 different versions for my stellar evolution course!). Well the reason I mention this is because during one of my revision lectures for some reason this came up. The normal mnemonic for this is:

Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me Now

but this gave me and my friends a challenge. We didn't actually come up with anything good, well we came up with a few quite rude ones but I will not mention those and they were not that good either - I wonder if anyone out there has a better one cause that is not very good.
