Lick

Mnemonic

Members of the tongue clan like to do one thing: lick. They go around licking everything to mark their tongue clan territory, you know? They even lick each other on the cheek by way of greeting.

Hints

Imagine encountering the tongue clan in your travels and being greeted by a whole village of them. It's kinda gross at first, with your cheeks getting all slick from the saliva, but after a while you get used to it.

Mnemonic

Unfortunately, the tongue clan members also lick your nachos (な). You'd been saving those nachos! They were your travel rations. Now each and every nacho has been licked clean.

Hints

Seems this tongue clan only likes food that can be licked up, like nacho cheese and salsa. They lap up all the good stuff, so all that's left for you are some soggy, pale, naked nachos.
