slow left arm

A bowling style in cricket. Involves spinning the ball with the left hand's fingers. Is like the opposite of off-break (spinning the ball with the right hand). Moves from leg to off for a right-handed batsman.
P1 :Daniel Vettori's a slow left arm bowler, right?
P2: Yup. Too bad he retired from international cricket after the World Cup.

took a left

Precursor to Take a L.

The way your day is going well or even good and then something makes it go awry. Less than a Trainwreck, but more than a general inconvenience.
Things were going sweet! Then my life took a left on me. I started seeing all the cards falling right before my eyes. This and that happened and my great day turned into a crappy day. Just like that.

Left-reading

Interpretations of media that makes excuses for sexist/anti-lgbtq/racist themes by giving undue credit and nuance to authorial intent; especially as a way to give a pass to offensive writing in movies/books/etc you might enjoy.
"Zelda isn't actually a damsel in distress because she helps in defeating the final boss"

"No, that's just a left-reading of her role. She still has to wait around for Link to save her very frequently."

or

"The left-readings of Rey's role in Star Wars Episode 8 are too forgiving, considering she spends so much of the film trying to 'fix' men. "
