Any one can explain & have mnemonics for valgus stress test & varus stress test ?

I confuse between these 2 names.

just remember that VaLgus... the L should stand for lateral, but the person got drunk and it really means Medial... MCL, everything testing for and going medially. That's the way I remember it... Once you substitute medial collateral ligament for valgus, it makes much more sense.
