Spin bowling definitions?
If a right arm leg spinner gets the ball to move away from a left handed batsman we call it a googly.
Now i don't believe there are too many left armers bowling unorthodox in test matches but if they managed to get the ball to move into a left handed batsman what is that ball called? Is it simply a 'wrong-un' or is there an LH equivalent of the googly?

The PC brigade has banned that term.

It's just a "wrong'un". Brad Hogg and Michael Bevan are two "recent" exponents of chinaman bowling, along with the wrong'un. Hogg had a particularly hard to pick wrong'un.
I also remember a famous dismissal with a chinaman wrong'un at the SCG. Bevan coaxed a nick from Carl Hooper with the wrong'un (turned from leg to off) with the ball flying quickly to Mark Taylor at slip. He parried the ball and fell back, in the process kicking the ball with his foot before it hit the ground, and catching the rebound.
Here tis...

Is it any wonder a record number of under 20s now don't know what sex they are, are easily offended by anything and everything, have bi polar, ADHD, depression, etc., is it any wonder half of them would rather march against lettuce because someone told them it was racist than celebrate Christmas and face the world and people head on and create a good life for themselves? We will end up jailing people for swearing at this rate. When i was 14 i told my dad i'd been pushed and called names at school by the local bully and he told me to grow a pair and hit him back. I did and it all stopped. FFS stop banning everything and being offended by everything.
