creeping thumb-all syndrome

Severe pain in the thumb of each hand due to texting with hand-held devices that can send and receive email. This condition will creep up on the user over time and cause reduced motion of the thumbs. In severe cases, the user may loose the ability to communicate.

Bummer, I can barely text anymore as my creeping thumb-all syndrome has damaged my thumb joints.

Red Thumb(s)

A term for describing hardcore gamers. Somewhat similar to Button Masher, however, they are pretty experienced at video games. They usually play for long periods of time, most of the time, its nonstop (hence "red thumbs"). The term works better with gamers who play on consoles such as the PS3, XBox 360, Nintendo DS or any retro console (Genesis, NES, SNES, Dreamcast, Game Boy, etc.). Gamers playing on motion-controlled consoles (Wii, iPod Touch, etc.) really aren't included in this term.

Revolved from the term Green Thumb, someone who's good with planting flowers.
