In theater you always specific 'stage left' or 'stage right' for the same reason, even though it's more syllables.


I've told my doctor that I had a problem with my passenger-side nostril before


One fun thing about this is that I have to guess what country you're in to know which side you mean.


The passenger side is where the booger is sitting.


It's still ambiguous.

"Stage left" as if I'm standing looking towards the stage from the audience, or looking from the stage towards the audience?


No it isn't because the term was invented specifically to avoid this confusion -- it means "left from the perspective of the performer facing the audience".
