Cover art for Papa Hobo lyrics by Paul Simon

I don't believe 'left handed way' has any political implications. Left handed would be something that sounds good, but really isn't. Something that sneaks up on you. Similar to a left handed compliment. The word 'left' has negative connotations throughout our language.

left-behind left-over etc.

Ah yes, spoken like a true right-hander.
