If you just try to memorize the names, it's easy to flip them. But if you remember your school math teacher showing you a line tangent to a circle and imagine a bullet bearing surface laying inside and against that line and ending where the tangent line touches the circle, the mental picture should help keep it correctly associated with the word tangent.
