What is Southpaw?

Southpaw is a term in folk folk language that defines a left -wing person. Although the term Southpaw could be used to indicate any individual with the left, it is most often used in a sports context. In fact, it seems that the term Southpaw stems from the sport of baseball, although it is most often heard with a reference to the box.

The baseball diamonds were designed to face the dough east to reduce the glare from the afternoon and early evening sun. The right hand pitchers face the north before they turn to throw on the home plate while the left -Boast jugs face south. Therefore, the term Southpaw. More than in baseball, the term Southpaw is to hear in a box with a reference to a left -wing boxer and an attitude he uses to throw a strike.

Outside sport, Southpaw is rarely heard or used to refer to the left -handed. The term generally used in normal conversation is "lefty". English word left means the opposite of the word right , which also means correct, while the Latin word for left is ominous , so it is reflected in English as bad.

largely due to the etymology of the word, left -handed or southern paws, it was once considered a negative feature. Some cultures still believe that the left -handed should be violently overcome by refusing to allow children to use their left hand. Most modern faith, however, bears connotation one way or another. Yet it may sometimes be sometimes difficult, because some tools and tools are designed for right -wing people and the disadvantage for their use is sometimes difficult.

In sport, the prevailing hand is rarely a factor in success and in some cases, such as boxing, it can be an advantage of the southeast. It is estimated that about 20% of the population is Left-Rukou, but this figure could be distorted when things such as bilaterality and violent switching of the prevailing hands are taken into account.
