The act of hanging from one hand to another
Changing one’s handedness
Transdexterity was once a common practice of kindergarten teachers, when they noticed students writing with their left hand. They believed the child must adapt to the world and its inventions, such as scissors and pencil sharpeners, so they forced left handed children to write with their right hand.
The act of transdexterity was once controversial in the teaching profession. While some teachers believed they were helping naturally left-handed children fit in the world’s standards, others believed the world should adapt to the left-handed children, as they were born.

Get the Urban Kite mug.Also, Crevice Cut; a cut on your tongue or lip from candy canes, lollipops, and hard candy that developed a thin sharp crevice. The crevice is created by natural holes in the candy that is developed in the cooking process, then thinned out by sucking the candy until there is a partial opening into the hole that tapers into a "v" shape. The tongue, usually a tastebud, slides into the crevice, then upward into the razor sharp edges. This usually causes your tongue to bleed all over your candy, leaving a sweet metallic taste in your mouth.
