the oddest one I've encountered was one a student taught me for the 3rd
conjugation:
"What do you have for breakfast?"
"Oh, I usually eat bacon and eggs."
[O, I, U/EBA/A, E] for the vowels and infixes of the present, imperfect,
and future respectively.

Sorry to be a pedant, but aren't they called mnemonics?

Do you mean something like the Declension Dance? The nun that taught
me had her bored, sleepy class stand up and do arm-waving motions
while reciting the declension endings - an identical motion for each
identical ending (a,ae,ae,am,a, etc.) It got the blood flowing, and I
can remember many of them 40 years later!

Surely the best way to learn them is just to READ MORE LATIN...
