In modern Western Culture it is not an insult.
However, there are societies that do consider it insulting.
In heraldry the right (hand) is 'Dexter' and the left (hand) is 'Sinister', hence the expression a sinister person, it really means a left handed person, not someone who is 'underhanded'.
I am a sinister person, totally left handed. Casually and in fun I can be known as 'Cack - handed' or 'Gammy - handed'.
There are degrees of chirality (handedness) . I am 96% left handed. I might occasionally do something that is right-handed. Right- handers (dexter) will also have degrees of handedness, e.g kick a ball, or hold a bat etc.,
There is a web-site for left-handers.

It’s typically considered polite and respectful to avoid making references to someone's left hand in a potentially negative or derogatory manner. Historically, the left hand has been associated with various cultural superstitions or considered less favorable in some societies, leading to stigmatization. While the phrase "excuse my left" might be intended as a light-hearted or humorous comment, it could inadvertently perpetuate negative connotations associated with the left hand. Instead, a simple, neutral statement like "Here you go" or "Please take this" would be more appropriate and respectful when handing something to someone, regardless of which hand they use. Being considerate of others' feelings and avoiding language that might inadvertently offend or reinforce stereotypes is always a good practice in social interactions.

Oh, dude, giving someone a "Dewey button" means to hand them a fake button that says "Dewey" on it. It's a reference to the 1948 US presidential election where Thomas Dewey ran against Harry Truman. Truman was expected to lose, but he won, making the "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline famously wrong. So, giving someone a "Dewey button" is like giving them a reminder that things aren't always as they seem.
This phrase typically means that someone is in a situation where they are at a disadvantage compared to someone else, giving the other person an upper hand or advantage in the situation.
