yeah this is a lefty`s thread. post anything interesting about lefties. i decided to post this thread as one of chris martin`s threads since he`s a lefty. i joined the lefthanders club and got my 1st newsletter. this is a bit from it:

1. SUPER LEFTIES
Some people think of left-handedness as a
problem, but we know better!
Right handers are wired into the logical left
half of the brain, which makes them sensible,
reasonable and DULL.

Left-handers are wired into the artistic
right hemisphere of the brain which makes
them imaginative, creative, witty, obsessive,
infuriating, delightful and original but
NEVER DULL

:silly:

this is from my new newsletter (is anyone going to read it anyway?)

LEFTY NICKNAMES
There are loads of word in the English
language meaning left-handed (and most
of them seem to be quite offensive, but
do we care?)
Have you heard of any of these?
Ballock Handed (Bristol)
Bang Handed (Tyne Tees)
Corrie Pawed (Scotland)
Cuddy Wifter (North)
Kack Handed (North)
Wacky Handed (Midlands)

We are also familiar with South Paw in
America
And what about
Greek, Skaios, Ill-omened, awkward
Italian, Mancini, Crooked, maimed
Spanish, Zurdo, not clever
French, Gauche , Awkward, clumsy
German, Links, Linkisch, Awkward
Latin, Sinister, On the left-hand side
(in English, also menacing and evil)

You can see more information about left-handed language and names on our web site at
www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/lefty_language.html

Wow....... thanks for called me weird............ but I'm not the only one, I know a few pl here who write with right and I on't know, paint with left or somenthing like that........ maybe you can write with the other hand , I used to write with my right hand but I was tired and my Math teacher writes from left to right so I started to write with my left hand and I could.... So then I try with other things and it was as useful as the right hand.

07-02-2003, 04:08 AM

why would we changed the subject :? this is about what hand you write with and mostly left....that is the subject.

i care about what hand Guy writes with. i'd still like him no matter what hand he write with. i'm not judging on that only.

when you want to quote someone all you have to do is click on that button that says quote on the persons reply.

Won't try to doit again.......... I guess to much free time (almost 3 month on holydays)

u don`t have to apologize, sternly. i was just trying to make you feel more confident about yourself. u should luff yourself. yeah! and i couldn`t be more soft :P i`m just like that: i tell people what`s on my mind wether it`s something good or bad. i just don`t seem to care about people`s feelings and that`s shitty. i know i should be less straight-forward. and my name is kasia :D what`s yours?

weedy_gonzalez

28-02-2003, 05:27 PM

oh you lil !!! :D

look at that!

1. LEFT-HAND = BAD HAND?
Over the centuries, customs, religions and habits
have made sure that the left hand is almost
universally damned and unwelcome. Only very
recently has the use of the left hand been
accepted as more 'normal'. We have picked a
selection of items that make the point.

* In popular folklore in many cultures around
the world, the Devil, or the local equivalent,
is always left-handed (look at paintings and
illustrations and extracts from religious
texts). The custom of throwing spilled salt
over the left shoulder originates here as
well, it is to placate the devil to your left
and avoid bad luck.

* An account of certain African tribes in 1906
describes what they do to left-handed
children. They poured boiling water into
a hole in the ground then thrust the offending
hand in and wedged it down with earth. This
tended to damage the hand and discourage the
child form using it.

* Until fairly recently (and still, sometimes,
today) children using their left hand to write
with were strongly dissuaded, by having the
left arm tied behind their back, by having the
left knuckles hit with a ruler or other
suitable punishments. We are probably the
first generation that does not include many
thousands of natural left-handers who write
with their right hand!

oooh a lefty thread :) i'm a lefty as well...and since i'm a book freak :o
i've got some books about leftys! there's this one called The Left Hander, which gets waay in-depth, theories and such..won't bore you too much with it but there's some interesting stuff in it like:

the right hemisphere of our brain is the source of our creativity, it gives us our sense of art, form, line, space, our appreciation of music ;) , tone and harmony as well as emotion, and empathy.

no wonder i love music, art, writing and am doing a graphic design degree :)

according to the book's surveys:
people with blonde hair (like me) are twice as likely to be left handed than are people with other colored hair

vegetarians are more likely to be left handed

fewer left handed people can roll their tongue :P (tho i can do it)

also we're more likely to be smokers and drinkers...on the downside (like smoking & drinking aint bad at all :o ) it says we're more likely to suffer from depression and that left handedness is connected to a variety of problems that have strongly negative health implications!! sorry to bring you down! :( ...but then this is vague all people suffer from these things unfortunately...

DrPolitik

24-04-2003, 10:44 AM

:D

Hi :)
since you're Polish thought you might like to hear this, the book says "the word for left in Polish (lewo) conveys the idea of "illegal" and is often used to refer to a sneaky underhanded trick :shock:

I like the Romany word for it tho, "bongo" :D

high DrPolitik! thx for the cool info! i`m blonde and i`m a veggie!! hehe i`d luff to have that book! who wrote it may i ask? and what`s the title?

and i knew about the lewy thingy(becuz it`s lewy not lewo..well lewo means left too but it`s more like left as a direction. we say lewy when we mean something is illegal or messed up.) hehe

Hi :) yeah it's a cool book LOTS of info, it goes pretty in depth too, like a textbook, it's called Left Hander and it's by Stanley Coren. It was written in 1992. You could have a look in stores for it, but probably find it at amazon.com or barnes & noble maybe?..oh my name's Greg btw.
