Do you know what the meaning of southpaw is? A person who is southpaw is a left-handed person. So my father is a southpaw person. This is an American slang used in sports according to the helpful explanation below:

“There’s a very good chance that as you view this lesson, the computer mouse is in your right hand. In fact, 87% of the world is right handed. But 11% of people are southpaws.
Southpaw is a sports term for a left-handed person. No one’s really sure where the term comes from, but it might have something to do with the fact that most baseball fields face east, so a southpaw is more likely to hit the ball south, to left field.
Southpaw pitchers and hitters are dangerous in baseball, but southpaw boxers are even scarier. Since most boxers train against a right-handed person, when they fight southpaws there are a lot of surprises.
But Olympic gold medalist and world famous boxer Oscar de la Hoya says he can handle southpaws. That’s why his next fight might be against Winky Wright, who is left-handed.”

You may learn much more about American slang and a lot of others idioms, or about American real life at English Baby. English Baby is a website for English learner from all countries around the world in which you learn English at the same time you can meet lots of people as well. Learning English and also have fun!!!!

When we are learning a new language we frequently make a lot of mistakes, however there are some of them which are repetitive duo to pronunciation or meaning of the words used in the situation. There is a good example for my statement when you think about the usage of “has/have gone to” or “has/have been to” any place. We have to use the first option when the person went to any place and she/he didn’t return from there, and you use the second option when the person went to the place but he/she isn’t there at the same time you are speaking. Here you are an article, in which you’ll find that example I’ve explained and lots of others common mistakes, that will help you to deal with them and you’ll also have the opportunity of practicing what you’ll learn about it. Enjoy !!
