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. "

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.
