Slope

Mnemonic

This is anti dirt. The dirt is becoming not dirt as it goes on, forming a... slope! Really what is the air above a slope but anti dirt?

This is some high level thinking, but I know you can do it. Picture a slope. Now picture an anti slope (like a negative image). It's all just dirt and anti dirt at the same time! Woah! Mind Freak!
