The term "right side" refers to one half of a pair or two sides that are opposite each other. In everyday language, it is often used in relation to the body - specifically referring to the right-hand side as opposed to the left-hand side. For example, when someone says they are sitting on their "right side," this means they are facing forward and their right hand is resting on top of their lap. In a more general sense, it can also refer to the correct or proper way of doing something - for instance, following the rules or being polite could be described as being on the "right side" of things.
