The term left hander was used in New York City to denote non Catholic Christians, the right hander was The Catholic. Left hander righthander was generally the dominant Christian denomination in any given area.

Catholics get all the sexy names. Remember when we all use to love Tony Blair? And we'd stay up late in our darkened bedrooms, wondering just how good he was in bed? Remember those day? I do. And now we know how good he is in bed, since he screwed us all blind! *breathe in...breathe out...count to ten...* Sorry, I drifted there for a minute, where was I...oh yes Catholics being called left footers...what the first girl said, along with the fact that for about ten years, all of Celtic FC's top scorers were left footed, and that Celtic would only have Catholics on the team, and 'Gers would have only Protestants. Oh God! I just can't get Tony Blair out of my head...I can't get you out of my head, your fluck ups are all I think about...
