The simple answer is left handed threads are the opposite of right handed threads. If you have heard the old adage "Righty tighty, Lefty loosey" left handed threads are the "Lefty tighty, Righty loosey". Left handed threads are used for keeping counter clockwise rotating assemblies from coming loose.
