• Pacinian. Pace = vibration. I imagine a running coach giving me pressure by saying “keep up the pace!” as I’m running fast.
• Ruffini. Sounds like an Italian noodle. I imagine an Italian playing with a stretchy noodle after eating a large pasta meal, so now he is slow.
• Meiss. Mess. I imagine my mother telling me in a light yet threatening voice to clean up my mess fast.
• Merkel. Steve “Urkel” is sensitive but a little slow. He’s also skinny/light. I imagine touching his acne would be bumpy.
• Also, the M’s are superficial in the skin, while Ruffini and Pacinian are deep in the dermis. The shape of an M is wavy like the dermal papillae.
