Can you "Billy Idol" / "Elvis" style sneer only on one side of your mouth or on either. Is it related to which hand you prefer?

"Yes, I'm right handed and can only sneer on my right side."

I don't know whether the two are related, but I'm definitely not ambidextrous, or sneeridextrous.  However,  I can make a "bunny nose" with both nostrils (I couldn't even try to explain how I do that).  Anything else I try to do with my left hand - write, draw, etc. - turns out looking like I am seriously disturbed.

When I sneer, or sing "White Wedding"!, the right side of my upper lip goes up; however, I'm left handed.  Strange!  I've never thought about this before!

A classic! Both the sneer and the song.

No idea why - my brother can do either side.

 

I'm right-handed, as is my brother.

I can sneer on either side, but I have no idea what that means. I'm right handed. I can also roll my tongue.

Me: right-handed and right-sneering. Husband: right-handed, right-sneering. Daughter #1: right-handed, left-sneering. Daughter #2: left-handed, left-sneering. Son: right-handed, ambilipstrous (?)-sneering.
