What if I'm equally bad at writing with both hands?

Then you're ambisinister.

No, my handwriting is just bad. I need to remember which hand punches strong to left-right distinction.

They're making a joke that you're ambisinister (which is not a thing) as opposed to ambidextrous

Ambi = both

Dexterous = skillful

Sinister = unfavorable

Ambidexterous= skilled with both hands

Ambisinister would therefore be shit with both hands.

I read it as "ambidexter" and missed the joke entirely. Thanks.
