If you mean just turning the blade around to use the main edge swinging outward, it is mostly called being unskilled.
If you are referring to using the inside (back) edge of a sword to attack, there is no specific name as there are so many techniques that incorporate the inside/false/back edge.
Read up of Fiore Dei Liberi, Johannes Lichtenauer, and Hans Talhoffer, their manuscripts show a lot of techniques incorporating the inside edge, each with different names.
