A hand gesture used while reasoning out very complicated topics, especially when studying Talmud. The speaker does a kind of diagonal thumbs-down and then dips and turns their thumb in a half-circle so that they finish with the thumb pointing up.
Is the nighttime prayer optional or mandatory? If (*thumb dip*) the basis of the daily prayers is from our three forefathers, then the nighttime prayer has the same importance as all the others, and so it's mandatory. But if (*thumb dip*) the basis of the daily prayers is the offerings from the Temple, and we know (*thumb dip*) that no offerings were brought at night, so the nighttime prayer must be optional.

When you're on Facebook Messenger and you accidentally hit the "thumb's up" button, usually at the worst possible time.
"I'm having a really rough day"
"What's wrong?"
"My dad passed away. 😰"
"👍"
"FUCKING UNINTENTIONAL THUMB! Sorry about your loss."
Or ...
"How are things with Robert?"
"I found out he's cheating on me."
"👍"
"So sorry, the Unintentional Thumb strikes when you least expect it."
