Goofy Footed
From WikiPedalia
When you coast with the cranks horizontal, ideally you should have the left foot forward, right foot rear. This way, the stresses on the crank/bottom bracket interface are in the usual direction.
If you coast with your right foot forward, that's sometimes called "goofy footed" and can contribute to loosening up or damaging the crank, since it applies stress in the opposite direction than the stresses of normal pedaling.
This term comes from the world of surfing, where left-foot forward is the norm.
