The meaning of "Lefty" in various phrases and sentences
Q:
Что значит you’re an inner-city lefty.?
A:
"Lefty" has two meanings:
1) a left-handed person (not insulting)
2) an insult meaning "a liberal person" or "a Democrat," meaning a politically left or politically liberal person.
"Inner-city" means "from a big city," or maybe "from the middle part of the city." This phrase is often used as an insult to mean "the poor part of the city," or "the part of the city with many immigrants and minorities."
In America: minorities, immigrants, and people from big cities tend to be more politically liberal (left), while White people and people from rural areas tend to be more conservative (right). So, "inner-city lefty" is a phrase that a conservative person might use to insult a liberal person.
