KENNY does double-duty as a . . . . I got nothing.

Mnemonic

What the hell! This doesn't look like anything! It kiiiiind of looks like beautiful (美) but split in half, and the two halves are being stabbed with a fork. So the fork does double-duty: it can help you eat salad, or it can help you cut a beautiful person in half.
