I-D-P-L-M-A-L is a memory device to remember the order in which musical modes follow each other. A common way to remember this order is to remember the phrase "I Dig Phat Ladies - Mostly All Lesbian" which will help you to order the modes in the correct manner:
Ionian
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian
Locrian
Ionian
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolian
Locrian
"Shit, dude! What mode comes after phrygian?"
"Just remember I-D-P-L-M-A-L! I... Dig... Phat... Ladies..."
"Lydian! It's lydian! Fuck, you are a pro!"
"Your cursing is beginning to sound like a locrian triad to me."
"What?"
"The tritone."
"What?"
"Why are you even in this class?"
"Just remember I-D-P-L-M-A-L! I... Dig... Phat... Ladies..."
"Lydian! It's lydian! Fuck, you are a pro!"
"Your cursing is beginning to sound like a locrian triad to me."
"What?"
"The tritone."
"What?"
"Why are you even in this class?"

Get the C.U.N.T.F.L.A.P.S. mug.Never Ending Peace And Love. Actually found this out by a guy from Nepal. Not to get confused with never ending peace and love. 0_o But it comes from the fact that Nepal is a country that is neutral with the world. Although their government may be corrupt, the people there know how to show you a good time. Jim Morrison actually talks about Nepal in " Roadhouse Blues" in the background you can actually hear him speaking nepalese. Pretty cool. He knew about all the fields of weed and opium that grows there, and "Freak ST." that just didn't care what you were into. If you haven't heard of Nepal, it's a country and No! it's not India. You know The Himalayas? The worlds tallest mountain, yeah? well that's in Nepal. So that's that. N.E.P.A.L. EVERYONE!
