Bapu Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Apparently, one technique was for all three to switch orientation of their guitars. And the drummer too. Edited October 6, 2023 by Bapu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheens Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) the opposite of right indeed is left, but nobody can have 2 opposite hands (as there is no opposite for hand -> examples of opposites are dark/light, wet/dry, liveband/KISS). could live with describing left/right hands as sort of mirrored versions of eachother, though.

paulo Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) It is an often overlooked fact that most people have more than the average number of hands. Edited October 6, 2023 by paulo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gswitz Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) growing up, we were prevented from saying out in left field left out or any other left handed non-pc language. 🙂 You know... to be inclusive.

Gswitz Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Sinister was another. I think it has a root in left in some other language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 1 hour ago, Gswitz said: Sinister was another. I think it has a root in left in some other language. Quite correct. From Latin, through old French. So unsurprisingly, the prejudice against "left" is the same in French, from which words like gauche are borrowed and used as a derogative epithet. Fascinating stuff for language nerds. On a different level, there's also the so-called Left-hand path, associated with black magic and Satanism.
