What about What about ‘‘porpor’’??
Essentially, por is used in all instances when P.E.R.F.E.C.T. does not apply.
However, if you like to collect acronyms, here is one to use with por: A.T.R.A.C.T.E.DThis acronym covers many, but not all, of the main uses of por. There are many idiomatic expressions that use por.

Perfect Atracted!Perfect Atracted!
That’s all for now. Remember the acronym P.E.R.F.E.C.T. for “para.”
You can either use “por” for all other cases, or you can remember the acronym A.T.R.A.C.T.E.D.
