Mnemonic

A cryptic pictograph of a face trying to say something.

We have a mouth at the bottom, then we have two short lines signifying a nose (this person has a really long nose, hence two lines), then one long line for the eyes (this person has an eye visor just like RoboCop), and then the final line at the top to represent the forehead.
