2.  at odds: conflicting, contradictory

Besides, at odds means that someone is not really confronting to another person through a direct communication. They maybe hate each other by showing bad behavior to each other, keep a distance.

3. all thumbs:  lacking physical coordination, skill, or grace; clumsy.
I am all thumbs no more. I can do my things properly with my best.
