Answer 1

There is a saying

Itching of the wrist means money in the fist.
Rub it on wood and it's sure to be good.

There is also the saying "left is for leaving, right for receiving".

Answer 2

I heard it was if you're right handed and you right hand itches, you're going to get money. If it's the left you'll pay out money. Here's a couple more for ya: If you drop a butter knife, company's coming. If your ears are burning, someone is talking about you.
