we learned the bones of the wrist like this:

Never Lower Tilly's Pants Mother may Come Home:



Navicular
Lunate
Triquetrium
Pisiform
greater Multangular (trapezium)
lesser Multangular (trapezoid)
Capitate
Hamate

but if you're Scottish you get the slightly more rogue-ish
Carpal bones

"Scottish Lads Take Prostitutes To The Caledonian Hotel":

Scaphoid
Lunate
Triquetrium
Pisiform
Trapezium
Trapezoid
capatate
hamate

I guess Scots don't have a navicular bone....'splains a LOT.
