I am very surprised that there is only one legitimate reference to the original coining of these terms from the beginning of the French Revolution so far in this thread asking what these terms mean.

It's not exactly relevant to a modern conversation, even if the history does highlight the Overton Window and how being the "left" or "right" is still different from being a "leftist" or a "right winger" as left or right wing is usually relative to local politics and "leftist" vs "right winger" refers to broad ideologies.
