This phrase literally refers to a farm implement; namely, a 'spade'. The following is a verbatim extract from Evans' (1992): 'The Ulster spade, while it has dozens of different shapes adapted each to its own district, is in general form neither Irish nor English but an ingenious compromise between them. The old Irish one-eared spade is really a push-plough operated with the right foot, whereas the Ulster spade, derived from styles introduced by Protestant planters, is normally used with the left foot. Thus the phrase 'he digs with the wrong foot' became an oblique way of referring to someone of the other religion, Protestant or Catholic' (p. 216) Source(s): Evans, E. Estyn, (1992) The Past in the Present. In Craig, P (1992) (Editor) The Rattle of the North: An Anthology of Ulster Prose. Belfast: The Blackstaff Press. (pp. 215-217) The above work draws on the original work of: Evans, E. Estyn (1951) Mourne Country. Dundalk: Dundalgen Press.
