That is how i remembered it and the saying was something like Some Old Hippy Caught Another Hippy Trippin On Acid.

Sine=Opposite/Hypotenuse
Cosine= Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Just remember the basic definitions for which sides are in proportion, relative to the angle you're looking at:
Sine = opposite / hypotenuse
Cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse
Tangent = opposite / adjacent
The phrase "Soh Cah Toa" is often used to aid in memory.

sine=opposite/hypotenuse
cosine= adjacent/hypotenuse
tangent=opposite/adjacent
Use the acronym sohcahtoa to help remember these rules.
