This is correct, but I prefer damnbidextrous, because I can’t do a damn thing with either hand.
Comment on Are there people without handedness?

And as an English expression for when you have a penchant for dropping things: “I have two left hands”

Ahhh I just referred to myself as ambicrap! Thank you for this new word! :)

I’d have called it antidexterity

Looking at the origin:
ambi, Greek: both;
anti, Greek: against, opposed;
dexter, Latin: right, skilful, clever; sinister, Latin: left, wrong, evil;
So sinister is already anti-dexter, the ambi just emphasises that this not-skilfulness applies to both hands.

Guess that’s similar to “two left feet” when dancing

Yes, that exists as well.

No, ambidexterity is comfort with both hands. Ambisinestrousness is discomfort with both hands.

Did you even read the OP or have they changed it?
ahto@discuss.tchncs.de 3 months ago
They wrote antidexterity, not ambidexterity
SolOrion@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
My brain just autocorrected it, I guess.
