English has some great idioms. Today, I want to teach you some that describe
people as uncoordinated or clumsy.
two left feet
If a person cannot dance well, or has trouble running or
doing set motions with their feet we use this idiom.
examples
Johnny wanted to learn to tango, but everyone said he had
two left feet and he should give up this dream.
Pablo gave up trying to teach Isabella how to dance. He didn't want to insult her, but he had to
tell her that she had two left feet.
all thumbs
If a person doesn't use their hands well, drops things, or
just has trouble coordinating their hand movements we use this idiom.
examples
Daniel tried to assemble the game, but he was all thumbs.
Everyone could paint well except for Marvin, who was all
thumbs.
