=v= It's not "our" terminology, it's MUP terminology, and
I've heard it used by runners and skaters, all over the U.S.
Kindly don't impute negative motivations onto others.

=v= Its meaning is not specific to this particular function.
=v= Whatever. I've seen this discussion going on for decades
with no action, so it doesn't matter what phrase anyone picks
until somebody actually does something with it. Then we can
all complain about it, hooray! So in summary:
"On Your Left" = Courtesy
Interminal "On Your Left" Online Threads = Nuisance
