I've been helping a random Nostrich via email work through their Damus issues this past week. 🥹
People still need help backing up their keys and understanding what the differences are between Public and Private keys.

Killing it sir
The best I've been able to explain to the complete beginner, at least in the Bitcoin context, is that your public key is like your bank account number, and your private key is like your ATM PIN.
It's not a perfect analogy but it gets across the notion that a pubkey is what you give people, and a privkey is what you hold secret and gives you access to do things.
If to wanted to offer zap awards for top nostr advocates, how would I discover them?

Oh the difference between Locks (Public Keys) and Keys (Private Key)?
I've read someone else use that analogy, and it is just perfect if you ask me! 💪😎
