Could somebody please point me to an AskMe thread from a few months back that discussed various useful phrases people used to memorize things, like "right tight left loose"? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thank you.

That's it! Thank you so much! So "mnemonic" was the magic word; I guess I'll go make a phrase to memorize that now...

For the record, "righty tightie, lefty loosie". I don't go for that newfangled free love version. You aren't that busy.
