My dictionary says "one-sided" is a synonym for "boss-eyed"

neutral Johan Venter : I understand what you mean, but one-sided has a slightly different meaning from you intended. There can be a one-sided football match, meaning the one side was much stronger than the other, almost as if it was only one side playing.

Same with discs - one side playing. Right you are!
agree Aleron : venter, do you know how a CD drive works? You can read data from one side, or flip it over and read data from the other side. Sides of discs don't have different "strengths".
