Explanation
This is a mnemonic to help you remember the original thirteen colonies of the United States. Take the first letter of each word (the small word "In" is just a connector and isn't counted): Cory Doesn't Give My Mom's New Noisy Nutty Neighbor, Pam, Rides [in] Sister's Van → C-D-G-M-M-N-N-N-N-P-R-S-V, standing for Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia.
