  1. In my book its as simple as a Lefty!!!!


  2. I come from Australia, and we DEFINITELY do not call lefties 'molly-dukers'.

  3. Lefty or Southpaw.  Although the term "Southpaw" is derived  from baseball and usually refers to a left-handed baseball pitcher.  Parks were often built with the homeplate facing east. That way, the late afternoon sun wouldn't be in the batter's eyes.  When a left-handed pitcher was facing west towards the batter, the ball would be thrown with his south side hand, or his "south paw".

    Here is a list of some other names for left-handers:

  5. I'm a lefty too

    At university they talked about "sinister" left handed  and "dexterous" righ handed molecules which comes from Latin I think. It's used a lot in heraldry as well.

    [Origin: 1375–1425; late ME < L: on the left hand or side, hence unfavorable, injurious]

    A  lot of terms for lefties have negative connortations.  Kak-handed is one that springs to mind.

    I'm sure it's because righties have an inferiority complex ;P

  6. Dexterous is right handed sinister is left handed.

    In Australia - left handers are known as molly-dukers (which arose generations ago - left handed fighters were considered not as strong and referred to as molly's which was a reference to a girly fighter; the duker part is from slang for fists - 'put up your dukes').
