'Ambisinistrous is the opposite of ambidextrous. It means - no good with either hand.' (from BBC website.)
In my day we used two words to describe this phenomenon - cack handed!
Now this word 'cack' is, so I understand, not widely used in the US but here in the UK we are rather more familiar with the work 'cack' which, to put it politely, means faeces - which tells you a lot about the origin of the words 'cack-handed'! Whew - and I say 'Whew' again. No thanks, I'd rather not shake hands with you - if you don't mind.
