4 over the left
разг.как раз наоборот [первонач. over the left shoulder]...and then each gentleman pointed with his right thumb over his left shoulder. This action imperfectly described in words by the very feeble expression of "over the left" has a very graceful and airy effect; its expression is one of light and playful sarcasm. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Pickwick Papers’, ch. XLII) —...а затем каждый из этих джентльменов указал большим пальцем правой руки через левое плечо. Этот жест, неточно передаваемый весьма слабым выражением "понимай наоборот", исполнен изящества и непринужденности; он выражает легкий и игривый сарказм.
