Mnemonic

Even though you tried to draw the flowers as best you could, whenever someone looks at it they smell B.O. (びょう). Maybe it's because you were drawing for a really long time and kept sweating. Maybe it's because you are just a stinky person. But no one wants to look at your drawing for long because all they can smell is B.O.
