Im in this moment extremely close to completing my memory palace for the periodic table and whats holding me back is the difficulty of coming up with images for some of the three digit atomic numbers 100-118 (since i already have a 2-digit system). The ones i got left is 108,109,111,116,117,118.
And since im asking for help with images for major system I thought this could be a topic people can do exact that and get inspiration for images on major system.
Here’s mine:
108 - aDheSiVe (superglue)
109 - TeaSPoon
111 - DDT (a chemical sprayer)
116 - DeaD Jacket (jean jacket with big Grateful Dead logo
117 - DiTKa (hall of fame NFL football coach)
118 - TooTi Frooti (musician Little Richard)
Thank you so much for the inspiration. I’m swedish so everything does’nt work, but i was actually able to pick up DDT (since it’s the same in swedish), Dead jacket, because i don’t think there is another name for it in sweden, and tooti frooti were your take as a song don’t work cause i don’t know it, but it inspired me because “tutti frutti” is a swedish candy name im familiar with so i can go with that. 
I apologise beforehand if the below joke is not up your alley, but I can’t resist.
The joke is part of a Belgium comedian act from the famous Urbanus.
There once was a boy from Sweden who was called Lars and when he became big and tall they called him…
…Extra Lars.
Nothing stops you to have words in another language in your PAO as long as you understand them well enough, doesn’t it?
I mean you seem to be pretty fluent in writing already…
Here’s mine, hope it helps.

Haha Dad jokes at it’s finest
You right, i actually do use a bunch of english words in my PAO, but i only do that if the english version is the main relation i have to the thing in question. For example a teaspoon i would probably intuitly read it as in swedish (tesked) when i am triyng to translate the image later. But for something like a name (for example Larry Wheels is my 54) there is no confusion later in image decoding.
Oh nice, i’ll have to check that out.
Avoiding confusion is a good point, but it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker.
I was able to find words only in my language for my 99 PAO, but now that I’m expanding to 3 digits, it’s so much harder to find words that I’m ready to accept words in any language (well only English, French, German so far).
My idea is that, as long as I’m careful to differentiate between the words, it should be fine. Like a “teaspoon” is not the same for me as a “cuillère à thé”. In fact if I drink tea, I use a “petite cuillère”, not a “cuillère à thé”, which is for me only a measurement for cooking. (In fact I actually use a mug and no spoon at all. A “teaspoon” gives off the image of a very fancy English tea ceremony)
I guess I’ll see with time if it works.
I’d be interested to know about other people experiences with multilingual PAO.
I got the same experience while building my 3-digit list of objects. I had expected to use only Portuguese words, but I quickly discovered this was impossible.
I also don’t think this is a problem at all. Objects often have multiple synonyms anyways, like seat or chair. Picking objects from other languages is the same as picking an object that has multiple names.
Remember too that the word doesnt even have to be the word for the image as long as it connects to it in your brain. My 464 word is RoGeR. The object that comes to mind for me with that is a Police Radio (Roger that! Over! Out!)
So even though “RaDio” would be a more literal match, “RoGeR” is an equally effective word to get me to the image.
Same for people. My 018 word for my person is “SooT Face” and it immediately makes me think of Dick Van Dyke’s chimney sweep character from Mary Poppins.
They Shirley were.
That was so week it was almost a fortnight…
I didn’t get it at first, because it’s it’s been a long time since I have seen the movie; I remembered the roger roger bit, but I forgot about the “don’t call me Shirley part”. They must have had quite a bit of fun acting out those scenes.
Does “tiedied” or “tied off” fit?
Do you have a few words, along with a translation that I can have for my 3 digit C-V-C system. One consonant - One Vowel - One consonant.
