Same here. But I use right for scissors.

I'm a lefty by preference but I've become ambidexterous, perhaps because the last three or four generations in my family tree are void of lefties. I prefer my left but if I get tired with the left I can write (handy for essay tests) and draw even play sports with either hand. As for eating I tend to use the hand/arm that comes out of my stomach whenever a hot dog is in the vicinity

I'm also a lefty in most things. I switch to a righty when I use a mouse or kick a ball.

 

[azncookiecutter]

Natural southpaw here. About the only thing I use with my right is the mouse.

 

[kg21]

yes!!

 

[Rise To The Top]

Left - Writing
Right - Sports

 

[timoteus]

Dominant left.

Write with the left
Mouse with the right
Pistol - left
Rifle - right
Bow - right
Kick - left
Scissors - both equally

I become more and more ambidextrous as the years go by as most lefties do trying to live in a right handed world.

 

[EhJayKim]

I'm dominant left

I mouse with the right, scissors with both hands, I'm right eyed so I shoot right.

 

[fureshi]

i'm pretty confused also.
write - left
ping pong - left
shoot - left
sight - right eye
sports - right
mouse - both
scissor - both

I am a "southpaw" and proud of it. We must start a special interest group/PAC and send some lobbyists to Washington to fight discrimination aimed at lefties!

Yeah! Go Left wing....

Oh, maybe that term has already been used... [size=xx-small](Only intended as humor, not a political comment, as I am a Southpaw)[/size]

 

[d-cee]

I've never understood the term southpaw

I know it means you're left handed but I'd like to know the origin of this word

 

[kwkarth]

Huh, it had been a while since I looked at that definition, and forgot a few things.... I guess if I box right handedly, I may not be a "southpaw?"

A left-handed individual may be known as a southpaw, particularly in a sports context. It is widely accepted that the term originated in the United States, in the game of baseball.[18] Ballparks are often designed so that the batter is facing east, in order that the afternoon or evening sun does not shine in his eyes. This means that left-handed pitchers are throwing from the south side. The first use of the term is credited to Finley Peter Dunne. However, the Oxford English Dictionary lists a non-baseball citation for "south paw", meaning a punch with the left hand, as early as 1848,[19] just three years after the first organized baseball game. In boxing, someone who boxes left-handed is frequently referred to as southpaw. The term is also used to refer to a stance in which the boxer places his right foot in front of his left, so it is possible for a right-handed boxer to box with a southpaw stance. Most boxers, southpaw or otherwise, tend to train with sparring partners who adopt a right-handed stance, which gives southpaws an advantage.
