"Goodness gracious! Such an elegant turkey with a tusk." This mnemonic is meant to join RtK's keyword with a better proposition. Heisig could have used "elegant" here, which is not confounded so easily with 淑 (#778), and accurately represents the character's meaning (it is also the chosen keyword in Kodansha's Kanji Learner's Dictionary).
