When you go home you need the KEY to get in.

Mnemonic

I know the right-bottom radical is 'sword-swallower', but let's just pretend it's plain old 'dagger' instead.

thus:

I got my sword pointed at your ugly snout, and my dagger pointed at your ugly hat, you need to get your ass home before I kill you!!!

Punk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
