EASY WAY TO REMEMBER HOW TO USE YOUR SCREWDRIVER
[a screwdriver is unscrewing a screw by turning counter-clockwise]
The LEFT liberates the screw from its oppression
[a screwdriver is screwing a screw by turning clockwise]
The RIGHT tightens the screw’s place in the social order imposed to it
CW and CCW (or anti-clockwise) don’t alliterate with loose or rhyme with tight though.
Plus there was a whole generation that never bothered to learn to read clocks…
I always say clock in, counter out.
