May
noun
The moon kanji also represents a month, so when you have five of these months, what month of the year is it? That would be May, the greatest month of the year (because it has towel day in it!).
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. 月 has two on'yomi readings, but it always uses the がつ reading in the names of the months, so here's a mnemonic to help you remember that:
May is when you and your buddies get together to eat Godzilla guts (ごがつ). You go hunting for Godzilla just for his delicious guts, and then eat them with your friends. Yummy.
