Please be advised that this is not the Word Association Game. That game has far too much substance for the venerable STG. The STG, to be played correctly, has to be void of all substance and context. For instance, if the prompt is "rightie", a good response is "so what?" Bad responses would be "wrongee" and "mighty" and other somewhat sensible postings.
Left-handedness is the preference for the left hand over the right for everyday activities such as writing.
There are many colloquial terms used to refer to a left-handed person, e.g. "southpaw" or "goofy" (USA). Some are just slang or jargon words, while other references may be offensive or demeaning, either in context or in origin (e.g. the British "cack-handed"😉. to attribute natural evil to God in explaining God's omnipotence over the universe.
Meanings gradually developed from use of these terms in the ancient languages. In many European languages, "right" is not only a synonym for correctness, but also stands for authority and justice: German recht, French droit, Spanish derecho, Portuguese direito; in most Slavic languages the root prav is used in words carrying meanings of correctness or justice. The right hand has also historically been associated with skill: the Latin word for right-handed is dexter, as in dexterity; indeed, the Spanish term diestro and the Italian's destro, mean both "right-handed" and "skillful". In Irish, "deas" means "right side" and "nice". "Ciotóg" is the left hand and is related to "ciotach" meaning "awkward"; in French, "gauche" means "left" and is also a synonym of "maladroit", meaning "clumsy". Same for the Italian "maldestro" (literally "bad right" or "not right" with the term right here used as opposed to left and not to wrong) and the Dutch word "links". In German, the word "link" means that someone is back-stabbing, or a liar.
Originally posted by adramforallI stand corrected and rightly so. Fortunately, the STG is robust to the threat of an occasional substantive thread. Now, back to meaningless drivel.

I know I'm not supposed to post anything with content in this thread, but where else should it go?
I sent an email to my friend AW who doesn't come here any more:
Ice Cold is the creator of the fourth thread on Page 1 of the General Forum. It has 3368 posts.
His response:
Ironic, it outlived Ice Cold. I never thought it would be popular.
