the mnemonic for the 7 deadlly sins is SALIGIA. They used this term during the middle ages and Renaissance as a word that meant the 7 deadly sins.
The sins are (words are in latin with translation in parenthesis)
Luxuria (extravagance, later "lust"), Gula (gluttony), Avaritia (greed), Acedia (sloth), Ira (wrath, more commonly known as anger), Invidia (envy), and Superbia (pride). Each of the seven deadly sins has an opposite among the corresponding seven holy virtues (sometimes also referred to as the contrary virtues). They are are chastity, abstinence, liberality, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility.

You should watch the movie Seven, with Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gweneth Paltrow & Kevin Spacey. You'll never forget them.
