## Lookalikes

| Meaning | Hint | Radical
--- | --- | --- | ---
朱 | vermilion | PENIS ON THE BOTTOM |
失 | miss out on | HEAD but NO PENIS |
矢 | arrow | NO HEAD |

Vermillion has a dick between its legs (think of the bright red veins in a dick). Arrow and Miss don't have anything down there.

HOW TO TELL ARROW AND MISS APART: "失" has a little line sticking up at the top, which we'll call a HEAD. 矢has no head.

So you can say, "I MISS getting HEAD from your uncle ever since he got BEHEADED BY AN ARROW."
