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.

Get the Left Lane Heromug. 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. "

Get the Left and righted itmug. 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.

Get the slow left armmug. Very astute point Candice! What do you think? Do you think it just shifted up one level of abstraction? Is that what happened? No? Cus that would be my thing. That would be the thing I said and have been saying for years.
Hym "RIGHT AGAIN SHIT-BRAINZ! God, my brainz are just so fucking powerful! How do I do it!? How is it possible for a man t- Oh right I'm a genius... Sorry. I forget sometimes! I genuinely forget that I'm that wildy-intelligent. Slavery never left. And what's worse is that it exists at MULTIPLE levels of abstraction. Your minds have ALSO been inslaved. How, you ask? The existence of the memetic sub-network and our awareness of it creates the impetus for the CURATION OF SAID SUBNETWORK! And WHO is the CURATOR!? Oh... I don't know... Probably some ABSTRACT AUTHORITY! But who? What do we call it?
