I sinned = debt on

As usual, the Duck nailed it: Asyndeton, the ommision of a conjunction, was the featured figure of the past few posts. And the way he can rattle off other figures I didn't even know I was using is frightening.... But in reply to Fr. Barry, I did mean "deadly" in the sense you took it.

For the mnemonic image, picture a donkey selling the word "AND" to a pawn shop. That should link "Ass in debt" on to the omission of a conjunction in your memory.
