leftsplaining

The act when a person on the political left speaks over your point or a nuanced distinction you are trying to make, in order to inform you of “the correct” (and ostensibly only) way to model an opinion on an issue - according to the church of social justice.

When a social justice activist corrects another liberal’s attempt to critically think through an issue, or apply data, evidence and reason to come to a thoughtful conclusion (that doesn’t see all issues in binary, dogmatic terms) - by condescendingly informing them of the correct way to automate any conclusions on this matter in order to signal allyship.

“When I mentioned that I had seen pretty comprehensive data from numerous, reliable sources showing that the problem was not as far-reaching as constant media coverage seemed to suggest, Amber completely ignored my point and started leftsplaining how questioning *any* statements made by PoC only helps to reinforce the cisheteropatriarchy, and shouldn’t be entertained by anyone who is a good LGBTQ ally.”

Phone in left Hand

You see something so attractive you must move your phone to your left hand so you can use your mand hand to masturbate.

Often used as a funny joke when someone does something cringeworthy or is being despised by others, for example in a comments section of a video.

Ugh my mom keeps posting embarrassing stuff to the Internet..

Friend: Phone in left hand moment.

Detroit left turn

A driving maneuver in which a vehicle in a left turn lane immediately turns left once the traffic signal turns green, regardless of whether it is a delayed green.

Far Left

Also known as the extreme left, ultra left or radical left. The Far Left most often includes anarchists and communists. The Far Left refers to the highest degree of leftism in politics, and seeks perfect or near perfect equality. Often anti-property, anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, anti-liberal, and anti-conservative.

The most radical Left-wing parties in multi-party parliaments are often Far Left to some degree. A big part of the Far Left is anti-parliamentaristic, though, and completely refuse to take part in parliamentary politics or even vote. This aspect of Far Leftism is especially prominent among anarchists, who prefer direct action and street-level militancy to boardroom politics.

Classic Punk, Hardcore Punk, Anarcho-Punk, Ska Punk, Folk Punk, Folk, Ska, Reggae, Rap, and Black Metal (known as Red and Black Metal in this case) are among the music genres most often including Far Left lyrical themes.

Those pesky Catalonian anarchists from way back in 1936 sure were Far Left, huh?

Democrats are not Far Left you idiot, they're hardly even Left-of-center.

Your mom is so Far Left that she rejects the bourgeoisie term of endearment "mother", comrade.
