I don’t mean Ambidextrous!
Yesterday I tried cutting a vegetable with the knife in my non-dominant hand and it was a weird and uncomfortable thing. I wonder if there are people who have that distinct discomfort of using your “bad” hand, but on both hands?
I don’t think it would fall under ambidexterity, because that kinda implies someone is comfortable with either hand, but could someone be uncomfortable with both?
There’s a word for it.
Ambisinister

Ahhh I just referred to myself as ambicrap! Thank you for this new word! :)
I’d have called it antidexterity
No, ambidexterity is comfort with both hands. Ambisinestrousness is discomfort with both hands.
They wrote antidexterity
Oh I missed that. That’s clever.
Did you even read the OP or have they changed it?
They wrote antidexterity, not ambidexterity
My brain just autocorrected it, I guess. My b.
This is correct, but I prefer damnbidextrous, because I can’t do a damn thing with either hand.
Interesting. The word for good with both is related to dextral or right-handed, and the word for bad with both comes from sinister or left-handed.
Well sinister is used to describe anything that’s ‘off’
Awesome, that’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!
And as an English expression for when you have a penchant for dropping things: “I have two left hands”
