Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Caco यानी bad/harsh और phony यानी sound, जैसे telephone में। Caco + phony = ख़राब आवाज़। या ऐसे याद रखिए — जो कानों को funny न लगे, वही cacophony।

CACO means bad or harsh, and PHONY means sound (as in telephone). Caco + phony = harsh sound. Or remember his line: 'What does not sound funny to the ears — cacophony.'
