 * 2)  not right; false, crooked
 * 3)  referring to the other bank of the Rhine (now mostly the eastern one)

Usage notes

 * Originally, the side of the Rhine was the other bank depending on where the speaker came from. However, it is now widely accepted that the term refers to the right (eastern) bank, and some people from that side have adopted it with a certain pride. This development is probably due to the fact that cities like Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz are all centered on the left (western) bank.
