空中英語教室 20240812 southpaw (lefties, left-handed) KK[ˋsaʊθ͵pɔ] DJ[ˋsauθpɔ:] adj.【口】用左手的 n.用左手投球的投手；左手選手 左撇子 My father, my brother and I all are southpaws. 我父親，我哥哥和我都是左撇子。 hello friends and welcome to studio classroom my name is and Marie and my name is Gabe we have a great lesson here just for you it’s got a very interesting title south Paul let’s just take a look at that word and break it down and talk about what this could possibly mean when you see this word what do you think it means Emory first of all what are the two parts of that word okay well first to be honest i have to say i have never heard this word before this is a new word for me so well a paw would be like the foot of certain kinds of animals like cats for example cats have paws dogs have paws they have the soft pads on the bottom of their feet that’s what a paw is that’s right some other animals might have hooves right that’s a different type of foot but so that’s what a paw is is the feat of certain animals and south is a direction it’s the opposite of north so what could south paw possibly be i am not sure but i think we need to get into our lesson so we can all find out together friends it’s a great day to learn something new so let’s do that together southpaws celebrate the lefties in your life about 90 percent of the world’s population doesn’t need to think about which hand to use when picking up a pair of scissors but for the 10 to 12 percent who are left handed even a day filled with simple tasks can be an adventure let’s take a look at some of the myths mysteries and history of our left handed friends hello everyone welcome to language lab i’m Jack首先我们来看population这个名词 意思是人口 例如 the population of the city has grown quickly in recent years which has led to an increase in the demand for services 近年来该市的人口迅速增长 对服务的需求也随之增加 或是the turtle population shows a decline in numbers in some areas of the state and in other areas it has disappeared在浙州的一些地区 海龟数量出现下降的趋势 而在其他地区 海龟已经消失了 population的动词是populate 意思是居住生活于 譬如the forest nearest the town is populated with monkeys bears and deer 离城镇最近的森林里栖息着猴子 熊和鹿 再来看mystery这个名词 意思是神秘悬疑 譬如the novel was filled with mystery and kept the readers guessing until the very last page who had committed the crime这本小说充满了悬疑 直到最后一页 读者都在猜是谁犯下罪行 或是 the foggy evening added to the mystery of the quiet streets and made the boys nervous about going outside 雾蒙蒙的傍晚 给宁静的街道增添了神秘感 让男孩们紧张到不敢出门 再看一句the sudden disappearance of the famous scientist became a mystery that still isn’t solved 这位著名科学家的突然失踪 成了一个至今仍未解开的谜团 friends i think we’ve found the answer to what a south paw is you can see it right here celebrate the lefties in your life now what is a lefty well it’s someone who favors their left hand usually this means they write with their left hand they eat with their left hand but that being said we don’t refer to people who use their right hand to do things as righties that’s right Emory but sometimes i think we should just just to be fair you know because because if we can say that left handed people are lefties then right handed people are righties but yes Emory is right we don’t usually call right handed people righties but we do call left handed people lefties i know plenty of lefties in my life my wife is a lefty so celebrate the lefties in your life i celebrate the lefties in my wife but i want to talk about another word here that is related to being left handed or right handed and that is the word ambidextry ambidextrious means that you use both hands at the same level so you could eat with your left hand or with your right hand or right with either one and be just as comfortable now some people are naturally ambidextrous that is very rare i’m not sure if Leo Nardo da Vinci was naturally ambidextrous but he knew how to do things with both hands equally great or in the same way so celebrate the lefties in your life about 90 percent of the world’s population doesn’t need to think about which hand to use when picking up a pair of scissors and this is true this is one of those things you don’t think about when you’re using scissors or when people like us right handed people are using scissors we don’t think about that it could be difficult for a left handed person to use that same pair of scissors there are a lot of things in this world that are more difficult for left handed people because things were created for right handed people because there’s just more right handed people than left handed people in the world but let’s talk about this phrase pair of here you know that pair of is used for things like shoes and pants and earrings things that there are two of but you might wonder why are we using this for scissors it’s kind of the same idea of that we have with pants there are two pant legs with a pair of pants and with scissors of course there are two holes to put your fingers in yeah we don’t ever talk about a scissor it’s always a pair of scissors but we read on here but for the 10 to 12 percent who are left handed even a day filled with simple tasks can be an adventure well that’s a positive way to express it that if you’re a lefty using a pair of scissors that can be an adventure some other people might describe it as a frustration yeah i know a lot of left handed people do get frustrated with the way the world is made because life can be harder for them in some ways let’s take a look at some of the myths mysteries and history of our left handed friends if you’re going to take a look at something it means you are going to examine it more closely and of course a myth is a widely believed but probably false idea so what are some of these myths what are the mysteries and the history of our left handed friends well we’re going to find out in our next reading south bars being left handed hasn’t always been accepted the belief that left handed people were witches was widespread in medieval Europe and they could even be killed for it in fact the word sinister which means harmful or evil comes from a Latin word for on the left side even as late as the 1960s American children who were born left handed were forced to switch hands when writing 接下来看形容词 harmful意思是有害的 譬如the government issued a warning about the harmful effects of too much screen time on children’s development 政府就过多的 荧幕时间有害儿童的发展提出了警告 或是being out in the sun without sunscreen can be harmful to your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer 没擦防晒乳就暴晒在太阳底下 会对皮肤有害 且增加罹患皮肤癌的风险 或是the harmful pollution in the river threatened the life of the fish and damaged the surrounding land 河流中的有害污染 对鱼类的生命造成威胁 并且破坏了周围的土地 all right thank you so much Jack well we hear a little bit about the history of lefties here in this section some serious things in here friends being left handed hasn’t always been accepted this is kind of surprising right it’s hard to accept or not accept someone just because of which hand they use this is kind of interesting to me you know living in 2024 where i have never thought that being left handed was strange or weird or unacceptable that just kind of a strange idea to me but you know when you look up things in history it’s true a lot of people kind of looked down on left handed people or lefties right the belief that left handed people were witches was widespread in medieval Europe and they could even be killed for it okay so you didn’t choose to be left handed or to be you know stronger in your left hand but you could be killed for something like this so people believe they were witches well a witch is a woman believed to have magic powers often used for harming other people but it also could be used for helping in certain situations think of the good witch from the wizard of oz that’s right so witches often appear in stories often times they are the villain but let’s look at that phrase to be killed for something now what this means is that you believe in something or you do something and because of that you are killed for it so for example some people are killed for their faith those types of people are called martyrs that’s right they’re killed because of what they believe right you can’t just simply change what you believe but some people are killed for that martyrs die for their faith and witches were killed just for being left handed in medieval Europe just a reminder medieval is a long period of time roughly between 8500 and the year 1500 but we read on here in fact the word sinister which means harmful or evil comes from a Latin word for on the left side so some words we have in the English language come from the idea that being left handed was morally bad it’s crazy to me it is yeah and we see that phrase to come from something we often use this when talking about etymology now that is where words come from so you could say this word comes from a French word or this word comes from a German word here this word sinister comes from a Latin word we also use the phrase come from when talking about the origins of maybe items or methods as well for example this method of cooking comes from Mexico now we’re not talking about something a time related thing it didn’t happen in the past necessarily but it comes from a place right so here we’re learning about how this word sinister comes from or originated with a Latin word that means on the left side that’s right even as late as the 1960s American children who were born left handed were forced to switch hands when writing now if you’re forced to do something it means you’re being made to do it against your will you don’t want to do that thing but someone else is making you do it some parents force their kids to eat their vegetables or clear their plates at the table this reminds me of an article we did several years ago on the baseball player the left handed pitcher tung Wei ing and i wrote that article and in my research i found out that when he was younger his mom tried to force him to eat with his right hand and do other things with his right hand because i think traditionally not only here but several places around the world people thought that you should try to do things with your right hand i have heard that before as well all right friends we’ll be right back after today’s infocloud hi everyone welcome to info cloud today Garrett and i are unraveling the meaning and significance of the idiom left handed compliment absolutely Rex a left handed compliment is when someone says something that seems like praise but actually has a hidden insult or criticism that’s right Garrett it’s kind of strange to use left handed though which hand you use has nothing to do with compliments that’s true rax but being left handed has historically been associated with negativity or clumsiness in many cultures it was considered unusual or even unlucky fascinating so the idiom connects left handedness with negativity exactly Rex and even though being left handed is perfectly normal and accepted today the phrase left handed compliment persists in the English language interesting how language evolves and retains these connections to historical beliefs absolutely now let’s break down an example imagine someone says you’re pretty smart for someone from your background that might seem like a compliment but it’s actually a left handed complement because it implies that people from that background aren’t usually smart ah so it’s important to be mindful of the true meaning behind seemingly positive remarks precisely always be cautious of left handed compliments left handed complement 很多时候 人们口中说出来的话 都有更深一层的含义 今天要跟大家介绍的用语是 left handed complement compliment是夸奖 left handed是左撇子 left handed compliment字面上就是左手的夸奖 意思就是带有讽刺性的夸奖 因为大部分的人用左手是非常笨拙的 left handed compliment就代表一些言不由衷 语带讽刺的夸奖 例如you’re very smart for someone from your background 对于你这种背景的人 你算是相当聪明的了 哇听起来是不是非常的犀利 话中有话呢 这就是今天的foot cloud 我们下次云端见 south bars there are also some interesting medical mysteries concerning right or left handed people the human brain is crosswired with the left brain controlling the right side of the body and vice versa but one university of Oxford study suggests that in the brains of left handed people the two parts are better connected in addition some studies say that lefties may have an advantage when it comes to language learning 最后来看concerning这个介系词 意思是关于 例如all questions concerning your application should go to the college admissions office 所有与申请有关的问题 都向大学招生办公室询问 或是the report concerning the recent environmental changes shows the need for good farming practices 有关最近环境变化的报告 显示了良好耕作方式的必要性 动词concern则是关切担忧的意思 譬如 the increased rate of crime and the area concerns the city’s entire population 该地区犯罪率的增加 令整个城市的人感到担忧 okay thank you so much Jack well we read here there are also some interesting medical mysteries concerning right or left handed people medical mysteries is a term that we use to talk about things that happen in our bodies that we just don’t understand there are many medical mysteries out there the human brain is crosswired with the left brain controlling the right side of the body and vice versa yeah that’s an interesting way of thinking about it it’s crosswired and this is something you learn early on that your left side of the brain controls the right side of your body the right side of your brain has more to do with the left side of your body’s activities right but that use of that word wire you think of an engineer who has to use a lot of wires in creating something of course our brain does not have actual wires in it but that’s just how we talk about how we operate for example sometimes we talk about how we are wired you might not know why you do things a certain way and you just tell other people that’s just how i’m wired that’s right but what about this phrase or this term vice versa it kind of has the meaning of to be opposite right yeah exactly so it means to be opposite and we used this phrase because it’s a shorter way of expressing the same thing for example the human brain is crosswired with the left brain controlling the right side of the body and the sentence could say and the right side of the brain controlling the left side of the body that’s just a lot more words you could just simply use the phrase vice versa here’s another example if we go on vacation they take care of our pets and vice versa in other words if they go on vacation we’ll take care of their pets too you don’t need to say all those words just simply use the phrase vice versa vice versa is a very convenient way to say something long it’s a good phrase for you to know friends let’s read on here but one university of Oxford study suggests that in the brains of left handed people the two parts are better connected in addition some studies say that lefties may have an advantage when it comes to language learning well if you have an advantage somewhere it means that for some reason you might be better at something than most other people and this could be for a lot of different reasons here’s an example his parents are math teachers so he has an advantage when it comes to understanding harder math concepts there’s a related phrase i wrote down that is to have the upper hand but then i realized that phrase will actually appear in tomorrow’s lesson as well so make sure that you come back for that right now it is time for us to go to today’s fun fact hello fax friends i am detective Ernest finder and i have a fun fact for you today did you know that the word for a right side in Latin is Dexter ha ha it’s true if you’re not left handed but right handed well uh you are one of many people who is right handed but dexterity means the ability to move ha ha how’s that for Dexter for you maybe someone’s name is Dexter but that is today’s fun right handed fact friends we want you to take a look at one of those talk about it questions in your magazine have you ever tried to do something with your other hand what was it like if you’re right handed have you ever done something with your left hand or if you’re left handed have you ever done something with your right hand it looks like Gabe is either writing or drawing something with his left hand yes i am and Marie what do you think i think it’s pretty good can you understand what’s going on here on this whiteboard it says game that’s my name and so it’s legible it’s legible and it’s a person yeah the little smiley face this was all done with and what’s down here feet no that’s a tree why is his head on top of the tree that’s a question for another time i just thought of a tree because there’s a sun shining over here what do you think i did all of this with my other hand honestly it looks about the same as when you draw with your right hand should i take that as a comment i’m just kidding but friends you should try this as well try to draw something or write something with your other hand and make sure you join us tomorrow for the second half of our lesson right here on studio classroom Southpaws 左撇子(下) 空中英語教室 20240813 hello friends and welcome to studio classroom thank you so much for joining us today my name is Ann Marie and my name is Gabe we are on day two of our lesson called southpaws where we learned yesterday that we are talking all about lefties or left handed people that’s right sometimes we use the word dominant佔優勢的 when talking about which hand is stronger which is your dominant hand while for right handed people our right hands are stronger for lefties or southpaws their left hands are stronger or that is the dominant hand but speaking of southpaws yes that is an informal term we use to refer to left handed people but it also has other meanings more sports related meanings so a southpaw could be a left handed boxer who leads with his right hand or a left handed pitcher in baseball is also called a southpaw but in general we’re talking about all left handed people as southpaws that’s right we also found out in our article yesterday that historically left handed people have had a hard time in the old times people thought that they were witches and until the 1960s many American families wouldn’t let their children be left handed but something else we learned is that maybe south paws actually have an advantage over right handed people when it comes to learning do you find that to be true if you are left handed and learning with us here at studio classroom maybe you have the upper hand that’s a phrase that we’re going to talk about in our lesson today today is a great day to learn something new so let’s do that together south bars unfortunately there are some mental health issues that can especially affect left handed people according to a 2013 Yale university study left handed people seem more likely to suffer from schizophrenia this serious disorder can cause people to hear voices or see things that are not real but other studies have linked the left handed brain with decidedly creative thinking scientists are uncertain but with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci on the lefty list there might be some connection hi everyone welcome to language lab i’m Jack首先我们来看this order这个名词 意思是失调或疾病 例如the doctor told the young man that he had a rare disorder that affected his ability to see color 医生告诉这个年轻人 他患有一种罕见的疾病 使得他无法看到颜色 disorder也指杂乱无章或混乱 例如the book on organizational skills offers ways to help people with a disorder in their personal and professional lives 对于在个人生活与职业中 缺乏组织性的人 这本关于组织技巧的书 提供了一些方法 或是after the strong earthquake the entire area was in a state of disorder 强烈的地震过后 整个地区一片混乱 all right thank you so much Jack well friends we are going to learn about some potential issues that left handed people might face we read here unfortunately there are some mental health issues that can especially affect left handed people now what are mental health issues they are health conditions that involve changes in emotion thinking and or behavior and this generally affects the way you interact with the outside world and some of these mental health issues can especially affect southpaws or left handed people according to a 2013 Yale university study left handed people seem more likely to suffer from Schizophrenia well let’s take a look at that phrase to suffer from something because here it’s used to explain or experience pain or injury so for example i know someone who suffers from severe headaches on a regular basis is quite unpleasant but there’s another way to use the word suffer and it’s without the word from and this means to endure or to put up with so for example the team suffered a defeat or she suffered a lot of abuse in class that’s right and it says here that left handed people seem more likely to suffer from schizophrenia schizophrenia is a very specific mental health issue this is a mental condition that involves a breakdown in the relation between your thought emotion and behavior so what happens is there is a disconnection between those three things and normal people would respond in a certain way but because of that lack of connection in the mind people with schizophrenia can’t process that information correctly now the adjective form of this word schizophrenia is schizophrenic okay so someone may be schizophrenic and what could they experience well in the next sentence we see this serious disorder can cause people to hear voices or see things that are not real so there are a few words that don’t appear in our lesson that maybe are related that you should know one is the word delusion or delusional that means you are experiencing things that are not real right but also the word hallucination a hallucination is when you see something or you think you see something but it’s actually not real at all it’s all in your head so delusion and hallucination very big words i know you can remember them all right but we see something positive here friends other studies have linked the left handed brain with decidedly creative thinking here’s a good word for us to look at friends decidedly this just means undeniably you cannot deny it people with a left handed brain are undeniably creative thinkers now we can use this word decidedly in other ways as well here’s an the king in the movie was decidedly evil he was decidedly evil i get the idea that maybe the writers for the movie made him evil and intentionally made him very evil or if i talk about a person being decidedly something they’re intentionally making a choice to do something that goes against what other people do for another example the band is decidedly different right intentionally choosing to sound different from other bands so there are different ways to use that word decidedly we read on here scientists are uncertain but with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci on the lefty list there might be some connection all right friends let’s continue learning in our next reading south bars one area where lefties may have the upper hand is in sports that require quick reaction times this includes sports like baseball and table tennis some researchers chalk this advantage up to right handed competitors not being familiar with the south paw style ding Ning for example is a left handed table tennis champion with three Olympic gold medals 接下来看reaction这个名词 意思是反应或回应 譬如 Tina’s reaction to the surprise party was a mix of shock and joy as a big smile spread across her face Tina对这个惊喜派对的反应又惊又喜 脸上洋溢着灿烂的笑容 reaction也指对药物的不良反应或过敏 譬如Bob’s reaction to the medicine was not expected and meant a visit to the emergency room Bob没想到他对这个药物过敏 他需要去急诊室就医 reaction也指化学反应 譬如the chemical reaction caused the Liquid to change from blue to bright yellow 化学反应 导致液体从蓝色变成鲜黄色 再来看champion这个名词 意思是冠军 譬如Nina trained to become the national chess champion mastering moves to beat the other players莉娜接受训练 成为全国西洋棋冠军 掌握击败其他棋手的招数 前品也有捍卫者拥护者的意思 譬如TED is an environmental champion leading campaigns to lessen the use of plastic and to recycle TED是环保的捍卫者 他领导减少塑胶使用 和回收利用的运动 champion也可以当动词哦 意思是支持或捍卫 譬如the organization champions the Rights of workers making sure of fair wages and safe working conditions for all 这个组织捍卫工人的权利 确保所有人获得公平的工资 和安全的工作条件 thank you Jack all right we read here friends one area where lefties may have the upper hand is in sports now this is a very interesting phrase that our writer has chosen to use to have the upper hand what does that mean well yesterday we talked about to have the advantage over other people and that’s what it means here if you have the upper hand you have gained some kind of advantage over other people maybe when it comes to a competition right like in our lesson in sports maybe you have more power or control in some other areas so here’s an example after a few chess moves my opponent that is the person i’m playing against my opponent gained the upper hand so i did something i made some mistakes and now my opponent has the upper hand okay so left handed people can have the upper handed specific sports these are sports that require quick reaction times this includes sports like baseball and table tennis you have to be able to react very quickly in both of those sports now we rehear some researchers or researchers chalk this advantage up to right handed competitors not being familiar with the southpaw style well let’s take a look at that phrase to chalk something up to something else to say or consider that something is caused by something else so what’s the reason for this well we’re not sure but some people chalk it up to this here’s an example the school’s basketball team is terrible this year so we chalked their win up to luck that’s exactly what i wrote down emm no way we don’t compare our notes before hand friends but maybe this is a common way that we use the phrase chalk up to we say chalk it up to luck quite a bit especially when something happens and nobody else knows the reason for it we chalk it up to look right well we can chalk this up to coincidence that we both wrote down the same example sentence but some researchers chalk this advantage or their upper hand up to right handed competitors not being familiar with a south pole style i think that’s probably a good assessment of the situation because if you’re a right handed person and you’re used to playing with other right handed people it may be subtle the activities and the movements may be subtle but the difference could be significant as well and we see the word style there as well and i think what our writer means here is that the way you play the sport because of course when you play a sport everyone has their own style and it sounds like here that the way lefties play certain sports is a different style than how right handed people play them ding ding for example is a left handed table tennis champion with three Olympic gold medals all right well we do have more to learn right after today’s infocloud hello everyone welcome to info cloud Garrett do you like playing board games do i like playing them i love playing them i started playing board games with my dad when i was just a kid we loved a game called stratego oh is that a fun one yes but it’s very challenging it requires a lot of strategy i could never beat my dad even though we tried to level the playing field level the playing field uh was the table you played on uneven ha no it’s a phrase it means you try to make similar opportunities available for more people where opportunities are unequal and you did not have the same opportunity to win right yeah even with an extra turn or two the playing field was still not quite equal i believe i also heard that phrase in the workplace too yeah these days governments companies and even schools have programs that try to make opportunities available to everyone thereby leveling the playing field so they create opportunities for men and women people of different races and people with different mental abilities that way everyone can have a better chance at a good life 今天跟大家介绍的用语是 level the playing field 字面上是把竞赛场地铺平 意思就是 让每一个人 都可以在平等的环境下竞争 享受平等的机会 在政府机关 学校公司行号 经常会有条件的提供一些机会 就是为了保障比较弱势的人 也能够得到某种机会 而不是被原本条件好的人独揽 这就是level the playing field 例如你跟一位围棋高手对弈 为了公平 他让你无子 这就是在level the playing field 创造公平的竞争环境 这就是今天的Infocloud 我们下次云端见 south bars but if there is an advantage it’s probably not a result of some special lefty magic recent studies show that there seems to be no significant connection between being left handed and athletic ability in any case lefties hold your southpaw high and show the world what you’re made of celebrate a lefties today on international left handers day 最后来看形容词 athletic意思是运动的 例如the athletic competition brought together the best talent from around the area 这场运动赛事 汇集了该地区最优秀的人才 或是the athletic wear featured clothing designed to improve performance and comfort during workouts 这套运动服的设计特色是 运动时可以改善体育表现和舒适度 或是Jeremy received an athletic scholarship for his basketball ability Jeremy因为他的篮球技能 而获得了体育奖学金 okay friends let’s finish out our article if there is an advantage it’s probably not a result of some special lefty magic lefty magic isn’t a real thing our writer is just saying that it seems like there might be some kind of magic involved because it’s a mystery why left handed people are so good at these sports yeah but we all know left handed people are not witches there is no lefty magic involved here right recent studies show that there seems to be no significant connection between being left handed and athletic ability so this is part of the same paragraph we’re talking about how left handed people may have the upper hand when it comes to sports but i guess there’s no really there’s no real significant connection here that’s right in the word significant of course means to be major or to be something in a big way they made significant changes to the report that means they changed it a lot all right well we move on here in any case lefties hold your southpaw high now usually we don’t use this phrase this way in fact like i said before never heard the word southpaw before but this phrase is usually used with the word head hold your head high now what this phrase means is even if something goes wrong or even if you’re embarrassed in some way or maybe you’ve even made a mistake oftentimes people encourage you to hold your head high that means don’t allow others to look down on you yeah maybe you feel like you did a poor job in your performance but you can still hold your head up high after the show when you meet and greet people right you should be proud and confident of what you’re able to do another phrase at the very beginning is in any case are related phrases at any rate we could also say that here at any rate so no matter what’s going on no matter what the statistics show right at any rate or in any case lefties hold your southpaw high so in other words be brave and confident and show the world what you’re made of now what does it mean to show what you’re made of this could refer to how strong or clever or how brave you are or the true talent that you may have it reminds me of those lyrics from Bruno Mars song count on me you’ll find out what we are made of when we are called to help our friends in need sometimes you are not sure exactly what a relationship is made of or what qualities are there until you actually do something together so we are going to find out what we are made of and of course here we’re talking about characteristics and talent lefties need to show the world what they are made of show the world their talent celebrate a lefty today on international left handers day so of course this is another one of those holidays that a lot of people might not know about but it is there on a holiday calendar and Marie i want to talk about something here because i think that left handed people may actually have an advantage in life simply because they were thrown challenges from early on in life okay and just like yesterday the writer David you know he said that it’s kind of an adventure for them it could be a frustration of course but the more challenges i think people encounter early in life the more they realize that there are a lot of challenges in life that you have to overcome for a lot of us we encounter challenges and we don’t necessarily think we want to deal with them because we don’t have to deal with them left handed people have to deal with this challenge early on in life and so they realize okay well if i can overcome this challenge there’s probably a lot of other challenges i can overcome as well maybe including something like language learning anyway those are just my thoughts on the subject maybe left handed people really do have the upper hand we’ll be right back after today’s fun fact fame hello fact friends i am detective Ernest finder and i have a fun foot fact for you today did you know that some sports have nicknames for left footed athletes it’s true the sport of skateboarding and snowboarding for example in skateboarding and snowboarding goofy means using your left foot ha and that is today’s fun sports fact friends it’s time for a quiz we have a fill in the blank quiz today so put those magazines away don’t peek at your notes please here we go lefties may have the blank hand in sports that require quick reaction times the unfortunate hand the mental hand the chalky hand or the upper hand well it’s not unfortunate they have it’s a word it’s a phrase that means to have the advantage over somebody else you remember what we talked about friends because we talked about it a lot it is to have the upper hand that’s right happy national left handers day friends to all of those lefties out there and we will see you next time right here on studio classrooms |
