This was sparked by one of Dragan's comments in a different thread.

>Speaking of which... the Serbian expression for "he's all thumbs" is "has two left hands" (or "two left legs" for a soccer player). How's it in other languages?

Being both left-handed and fascinated with language, it has always intrigued me that many languages use the word "right" to mean both a direction and "correct." There is also some negative implication to the words for "left" (sinister, gauche, etc.) in addition to the idiomatic expressions such as the ones you quoted above.

English is rife with things like this. I'm wondering how true this is in other languages.
I'd love it if the others in our international community could chime in with their knowledge.
