I have zero clue how to burp/belch.

I just learned how to recently. As far as drinking beer goes, it's a necessity.

I can't do a gainer into a pool (jump forward and do a back flip.) I have tried and failed spectacularly many times, just cant make the rotation. All other flips are no problem.

I always thought it was strange my wife couldn't whistle, seems more common than I thought.

I can not ice skate or roller skate. It is frustrating because I have always been atheletic. I blame my high center of gravity due to my height.

I can't float on my back. My mom had to take me to a swim school that didn't require it, so that I could learn how to swim. I've had swim coaches today confirm I can't do it. My body just isn't built for it.

Can't do the loud finger in mouth whistle.

Can't shuffle cards smoothly.

Can't tell detailed stories (i.e. he said this, she said that). It's always a big picture summary.

I can't tread water.

Can't do the Vulcan "live long and prosper" hand sign. Frustrating as a Trekkie.

Can't do a cartwheel, which was tough as a little girl in the Nadia Comenichi 80s. Couldn't do the splits till I was an adult.

Can't burp on command, but that's not a status symbol for girls, so I'm good.

Can't hock a lugie out of my throat without sounding like I'm extracting a lung.

Guilty of Bunny Ears shoe tying as well. The other way just makes no fricking sense and I still can't do it.

Really want to learn the finger or tongue against the teeth whistle. Those badass one's that can carry across a lake. Especially if I ever have kids, need those shite rats to hear that whistle and know I'm not f-ing around.

I can do absolutely nothing with my left hand besides hold a drink.

I spent about 4 hours one night in college practicing the finger whistle with my lab partners (not gay). I am so glad I learned the loud whistle now that I have kids. Absolutely necessary.

I can't see the images in the magic eye or roll my R's.
Otherwise, I am good for most things mentioned in this thread. I can wink, flare nostrils, raise one eyebrow at a time, cross eyes, wiggle ears, roll tongue, double roll my tongue...
