cack-handed

【英文解釋】clumsy, inept; left-handed

【中文解釋】愚笨的，無能的，不稱職的；左撇子的

【短語來源】 The word cack is an Old English word for excrement or dung. Cachus was Old English for a privy, and both words come from Latin cacare, defecate. The expression cack-handed almost certainly comes from the ancient tradition, which delevoped among people who were mainly right-handed, that one reserved the left hand for cleaning oneself after defecating and used the right hand for eating. At various times this has been known in most cultures. So, to be left-handed was to use the cack hand or be cack-handed.

cack這個詞來源于古英語，原意是指排泄物，動物的糞便。而Cachus這個詞在古英語是表示廁所的意思。這兩個詞都是從拉丁語cacare和defecate變形而來的。而cack-handed這個詞很大程度上在古代流行開來，是指那些右撇子的人在上完廁所后用左手來清理，而用右手吃飯。這在很多文化里似乎都是如此，所以左撇子的人就被稱為cack-handed了。
呃，這英語里的短語來源也真夠雷，介個，只是英語解釋，大家千萬不要誤會哦。廣大左右撇子同胞不要掐架哦。

【有例有句】Cack-handed golfers need left-handed clubs.
