These signs are seen in acute pancreatitis. Having a mnemonic to remember them makes me feel complete!
Cullen's sign mnemonic:
If you complete the C, it looks like an O; umbilicus looks like an O. So pancreatic enzymes seeping through the falciform ligament causing discoloration around the umbilicus is the Cullen's sign.

Grey Turner's sign mnemonic: (Vulgar language ahead, sorry!)
"Fuck, Grey Turns me on."
Hemorrhagic spots and ecchymoses in the Flanks is called Grey Turner's sign.
PS: You'd know what I mean if you would've read fifty shades of Grey ;)
