I remember a Hollywood movie once where the Roman Legion was being told to march 'sinister, dexter, sinister dexter'

In French, of course it's 'gauche', which also means 'awkward or unsophisticated'. Then there's 'cack-handed'. I've just Googled (other search engines available) and it seems practically every language in the World has a derogatory term for being left-handed.

We just smile in a superior sort of way.

Did you know that about 10% of elephants are left-trunked? Most of them curl their trunk to the right, just the better ones to the left.

Talk about thread drift!

Sorry.
