A distribution pulled out toward the low end is described as:

1. The direction of skew is named for the tail, not for the bulk of the data. 2. A distribution of this type is called skewed to the left because it is pulled out to the left. 3. The long thin tail therefore points toward the smaller values. 4. Reading the name from where most of the data sits is the classic error here. _Source: OpenStax Introductory Statistics 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 2 'Descriptive Statistics', sections 2.1-2.7_
