"Hot cup of tea" for 2 on 3...what about 3 on 4?

[camejia]

After years of faking my way through the measures with 3 against 4 rhythms in Chopin's Minute Waltz and Beethoven's Adagio from Pathetiqe, I've finally decided to tackle Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu.  2 against 3 rhythms have always come easily to me.  I was taught to use the phrase "Hot cup of tea"--line up the duple with "Hot" and "of" and the triplet with "Hot", "cup" and "tea".  Does anyone have a similar phrase that works with 3 against 4?

Try "Pass - the gol - den - but - ter"

The 4s go with "Pass - the - den - ter"

The 3s go with "Pass - gol - But"

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

That's interesting.
