失 (Kanji for miss out on)

Onyomi

SHITSU

Oh SHIT! I missed out on the reunion concert of the PART TIME CHRISTIANS.

This is rifle plus big. But, since arrow (矢) is ALSO rifle plus big, it's easier to think of 失 as "arrow plus a little head on top!"

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

うしな*う

to miss out on. Like you were watching tv too much and missed out on a pool party in your own backyard.
★★★★☆

失敗(しっぱい) する	failure ★★★★☆ 失 (miss out on) + 敗 (be defeated) = 失敗 (failure) any failure! Flunking a test, your plan fails, no one comes to your party, your business goes bankrupt, your mom's chest waxing goes wrong and her pec-fro winds up as Beyonce's wig.
失礼(しつれい) な	rude ★★★★☆ 失 (miss out on) + 礼 (polite) = 失礼 (rude) rude, without manners.
失恋(しつれん) される	get your heart broke ★★★☆☆ 失 (miss out on) + 恋 (passion) = 失恋 (get your heart broke)
大失敗(だいしっぱい)	total disaster ★★☆☆☆ 大 (big) + 失敗 (failure) = 大失敗 (total disaster) a total disaster.

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."

	Meaning	Hint	Radical
先	earlier/ the tip	LEGS OPEN
失	miss out on	LEGS CLOSED

1) Probably the first time you saw "先" , you were looking at the word for teacher (sensei)-- 先生

2) MISS is basically SENSEI but with its legs closer together. Therefore,

3) I missed out on sex with teacher because she kept her LEGS CLOSED.

See?
