Does it mean that we are, potentially, on one of two poles(?) of the observable universe, if we're observing most galaxies around us rotating a certain way?

My clock certainly seems to tick in the opposite direction when I look at it from behind.
I don't think the universe is considered to have any significant rotation, however. Is this due to scale for us to measure, and/or having nothing external to compare against?
But there is no reason to think that the universe has a net rotation. It could have one; you don't need a frame of reference to detect rotation. (The same way you feel centrifugal force.)
It would be huge if it were shown to have a net rotation. So huge that I take this claim with skepticism until heavily confirmed.
