Meaning Mnemonic
With a lid, you hit yourself in the mouth and then kick it like a pathetic loser. You kick the lid, even though it is your fault that you hit yourself in the mouth with it. It’s not the lid’s fault. You don’t need to kick it. You’re being pathetic.
Reading Mnemonic
You kick the lid one last time and it bounces off the wall and hits you in the eye (あい). How pathetic. You are a pathetic mess. You should have never kicked the lid. Now both your eye and your mouth are in pain, you pathetic fool, you.
