I only know port vs starboard because of SpongeBob
red and left - both short words. port and left - both short words.
right and green - both long words. starboard and right - both long words.
PORT is the spirit that's LEFT in the cupboard after the party
a STARBOARD would be RIGHT under your feet in space if it hasn't floated away
Excellent!
