...still maligned in the English language/everyday use?
This stems from Heraldic terms:- Dexter and Sinister/Right and Left.
So the words are archaic,and no longer relevant,yet right is everything
good - Dextrous,Adroit..while Left is Sinister,ominous or evil,Gauche,
naive and unrefined.I,for one,protest at this continued Leftism!;0)

The man hostage is a leftie... very sinister and evil in my opinion. ;oP
I'm right on your side with that.

(Sorry) I am a leftie.

However, lefties are perfect, humourous and good-looking.
Or that is what they would have you believe.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Except for chief Leftie - Ed Milliband, or have i digressed again?
i'm corie fisted

All lefties should be burnt at the stake...
I'm another corrie-fister.
Keep your left handed sinister ways to yourself... I is an adroit destrous and we walk in the sunshine... you belong in the dark!
Sorry, what are some of you doing to the cast of Corrie ?
aaah CD which hand is closest to your body as you are doing that??
Always the right alba.... Not like you weirdos... ;oP
a corrie fister???? :-0
any lefties in my family are locked away in cupboards then, at the age of 10, driven to Wigan and released. They feel right at home amongst that lot!
We won't have none of that kind in our family!
<gets out the mind bleach for anyone else who just thought 'Norris'> I don't even watch the bl00dy thing.
Being a corrie-fister is an exclusive club.
A bit like being in the AB Floozy club.
