Discriminating against a person or group of
people based on their handedness, either left or right.
Something that almost every left-handed person is
sure to have experienced due to making up such a small percent of the population (under 10%)
Ambidextrous individuals are usually exempt from such prejudice as they can avoid being branded a lefty, and avoid backlash as a righty.
(Guy)"You have good handwriting ... for a left-hander."
(Girl)"EY, dont be handist!"
(teacher slams a book on the wrist of a
student using his left
hand for writing)
"I won't have devils in my class!"
(student whispers) "Handist
bitch"
(crazed psychologist) "Being left-handed is a neurotic choice made by antisocial individuals."
(left-hander) "STFU u handist tosser!"
