people always do things with either hand, sometimes both, but writing is so complex that it determines someone's, um, "handiness"

i'm a leftie, but i play guitar right-handed (i used to play left when i was 10, and i wish i still did)
i kick with my left foot
i swing a bat left-handed
i throw left ... if i throw right-handed i throw like a girl (no sexist offense, you know what i mean)
i eat with my left hand
i skate goofy-footed (switch stance)
i pick my nose with my left hand
i use scissors with my left hand
and i .. eh .. flog the dolphin with my left hand

if you're left-handed, what do you do with your right hand? and vice versa

For most things, I use my right hand.(Writing, precision/fine motor control, etc), but there are some things that I have to do left handed just because doing them right handed tends to feel very backwards, just as easily though there are some things that I can do with both hands with just as much ease(casting out while fishing for example).

I voted Lefty... that's which hand I naturally use to eat and write although I can use my right hand to eat and write -- just as well as other natural rightys


I do everything else w/ my right. Cutting, throwing, kicking is all my right side.

I write with my Left hand but EVERTHING ELSE is with the right. Geez, you should see my try to write my name down with my right hand. It looks like Satan writing a letter to God really Pissed off in the City bus traveling along a bumpy road. :/ Quite bad...

I'm right handed, but left eyed, so I shoot left handed (which I don't do often) and do just about everything else right handed.

and a dork is a carnival performer whose show consists of bizarre acts, such as biting the head off a live chicken.
etymology

But since you've been living in a hole they do have other meanings.

Dork is slang for a foolish, stupid, or inept person and a geek is also slang for a person who is single minded of accomplished in a scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.

Wanna learn more about the etymology of the words?

Dork was probably a variant of DIRK where as geek is probably an alteration of dialectial geck from low german gek.

Information was aquired from American Heritage Dictionary of the ENglish Language. Fourth Edition 2000 (c) by Houghton Mifflin Co.

Want to know more about Houghton Mifflin? One of the worlds largest publishers, a subsidary of Vivendi Universal.

More about Vivendi? A few years ago they were caught in an Accounting Scandal, similar to those of Enron and World Com.

Vivendi was orginally a water company based in France, but now is 3rd in the world in Media behind Disney and AOL Time Warner.

You know, I once turned in a paper where I mixed up the word etymology with entomology, the study of insects. Felt really stupid.

now i thought a "dork" was when you fart in the bathtub and bubbles float to the surface ...

maybe just one of many possible meanings ... now that's a research paper for anyone who can't think of a topic!
