When I'm pushed too far, a "sod off" sentiment is what comes boiling up, and the jab comes out.
You might say we are all, in our own way, familiar with what can bring us to that point.
In my fascination with women's boxing and the education in primal self-defense, I've come across the term "southpaw", which is to define those in boxing that, either through training or from natural dominance, fight left-handed. Left-handers throw everything off, and to the right-dominant world, it comes off as just..."wrong". (I am ambidextrous in many things, with a right-hand inclination for art and writing).
There is something mean and final about the southpaw jab. I almost named this redhead "Southpaw", but I wanted the title to reflect more of the crab and the cancer zodiac association...Which, by the way, is a conceptual, happy accident, not anything to do with some predisposition towards astrology. I don't put much stock in the mysticism of astrology, on the whole. The archetypal language is great for visual story-telling though!
I was fresh from a rotten argument and this image of a self-sovereign woman putting up her ready claw as if putting up the English two fingers, and snarling, was an immediate vision for me.
After some conceptual editing and practical application, this is what came of the thought, for Clown #3 - Crab Jab:
