If mother's arms were akimbo, you knew you were in trouble, especially if it was followed by your full name at high volume.

Dual wield - Wikipedia

Dual wielding, or akimbo, is the technique of using two weapons, one in each hand for training or combat.It is not a common combat practice. Although historical records of dual wielding in war are limited, there are numerous weapon-based martial arts that involve the use of a pair of weapons.
