I remember it as "wibbed iz white" (ribbed is white). To go further, "wibbed iz whit iz wide" ==> the wider blade on the plug is the white one.
A way to doublesheck is to take a voltmeter with one lead to the cold water pipe (assuming copper pipe all the way) and the other to the electric supply. One will read 120v or so, the other zero or near zero. Could also use a test lamp.
