Mnemonic

Uh oh, this skewer is really... cushy (くし). It's so soft and cushy you can't get any meat or vegetables onto it.

Hints

Imagine trying to use this cushy skewer. It's the right shape (long, thin, pointy at one end), but every time you try to put something on it it squishes in on itself like a long marshmallow.
