righty tighty lefty loosy

Refers to threads on a screw, nut, bolt, etc. To tighten, you turn to the right (clockwise). To loosen, you turn toward the left (counter clockwise). A few exceptions exist, notably old propane cylinders and some pipe fittings.

Lefty Hefty Righty Flighty

For when you have to go counter clockwise directions to tighten or loosen something.

Lefty Hefty Righty Flighty. That’s not a righty tighty screw. It’s a lefty hefty. If you want to remove it, it’s a righty flighty. :) *looks at left over screw*

I hit lefty, but only in baseball

A metaphorical way of a telling a gay or lesbian you are straight and have no desire or capacity for a same-sex hookup.
You tell a bi I switch hit, but only in baseball.

At the batting cage....
Lesbian standing outside cage: I just LOOOVEE the way you swing the bat left-handed. Can you hit lefty with me?
Me: Hell, no! I hit lefty, but only in baseball! I I throw righty.
