One time I misremembered my Japanese teacher’s mnemonic and wrote that my grandpa was married to noodles.
Teacher told us grandma is sofu because she has a sore foot from kicking grandpa’s ass. I remembered it as sore bum instead, and changed grandma to soba
I have this sort of thing all the time here in Spain, though with shit/sheet.
There’s plenty going the other way too, of course. At least I don’t mistake miedo and mierda these days …

Sofu (祖父) is grandpa. Sobo (祖母) is grandma, which is even closer to soba.
Damn, I still cannot get that mnemonic right
