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?

      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. In German, calling somebody having “two left hands” means that they aren’t skilful at all concerning handcrafting.
