Mnemonic – Pondering is ponderous

This works because usually if you have to think about, or ponder a weighty subject then it is ponderous. It causes you to ponder it because it’s such a big thing on your mind. You can’t quite grasp the concept of it or the significance of it so you think about it a lot.
