Origin of the word leftie

"Leftie" as a term for a left-handed person has origins in the 18th century. It likely arose from the common association of the left hand with clumsiness and awkwardness, particularly in a time when right-handedness was the social norm. The term was originally used as a derogatory label, but it has since become more neutral and even affectionate in some contexts. However, the term "leftie" can still carry some negative connotations for some people.
