This isn't really a harder one, but:
ORD = O'Hare's Ridiculously Delayed
Others:
PWM = Portland. What, Maine?
SXM = Sint Maarten Crosses my Mind

FCA (Freakin Kalispell A-hole!!!!) lol (and yes, I know it's a C, but I remembered it for my city codes test nonetheless)
Though I found if you learn the history of the airport, or it's real name, it's much easier to remember.....like with FCA, Flat Head Country Airport.
ORD - Orchard Field
MCO - McCoy Air Force Base
GEG - Geiger Field
Ok, wait for the RJ to pass, cleared to push tail south Mike, and you're cleared to spin #2 in the push.

EWR - Everybody Waits (on the) Runway
LGA - Late Guaranteed Arrival
Always wonderers if this "last and final boarding call" is in fact THE last and final boarding call.
25 71Zulu: MSY seems like an odd choice for New Orleans but here is the story from the airport website:
26 TR763: One that I´ve heard that is pretty sad, but unfotunately true is: CGH - Crash into Gas station and Houses
