Aids for remembering gismu



Has there been any attempt to collect mnemonic aids for remembering gismu?  Instead of a brute force approach ("kumfa= room...kumfa = room...KUMFA = ROOM!"), memory seems to be helped with some sort of association, especially one that's visual.  For example: imagining a "COOMFAtable room" (comfortable room).  Or, imagining a man SITting ina ZOOT SUit (zutse).  Or, "don't get CHEEKY this TIME OF DAY" (tcika).
 
Obviously, some associations will make sense only to the maker, but I wonder if mnemonic suggestions might be a useful addition to either a dictionary entry or a tutorial chapter's glossary list.
