0Hi02br
02br
00I really find it difficult to ask this question--but, have you ever noticed little children wearing slippers in a way that the right slipper is (covers?) on the left foot and left one (comes?) on the right foot? How can I say it to my little brother:02br
02br
01b00Why are you wearing your slippers 01i00_______________02i00? (left to right???)02b02br
02br
00PS: Please edit my question--I am aware it's poorly written.0-

0 That is the usual way to say it -- but then the other person can respond "What do you mean, the wrong feet? These are the only feet I have!" 0-

00The prefix "dys-" means "bad" or "wrong", as in "dysfunctional".02br
02br
00"Podalic" means "pertaining to the feet". Therefore "podalically" is the adverbial form.02br
02br
00Put together, they mean "wrong-foot-ishly".02br
