Thumb

A useful appendage, like a tool, but whereas a tool can be used by anyone, a thumb is dedicated to the use of one person or group. Someone and something that is not only broken, but effectively dead without them. Examples: Op-ed columnists with careers so narrow they would be on food stamps without their special interest groups, third-tier politicians that have jumped off the deep-end with crazy but have been appointed to a position by one better at hiding it, nazis, tankies, actual thumbs.

"Shut the fuck up, you thumb."
or
Self, to own thumb: "You're a thumb, but at least you're useful."

Politician's thumb

The way a politician holds their hand in a first with their thumb used as the pointer, because focus groups said that using a finger was too aggressive.

Originally pioneered by Barack Obama, and used by most politicians since then who don't want to be seen as overly aggressive.

Did you see the rendition of Nikki Haley in the SNL episode of the Republican presidential candidates debate? She nailed the politician's thumb.

Buff Thumbs

When you text the same person over and over for a prolong period of time, you notice a change in your thumbs’ physical appearance. Typically you’ll notice the knuckle start to get a bit larger due to repeated movements required to do said texting. It’s also a sign of early stages of carpal tunnel syndrome.

I texted this chick while she was in the Bahamas for about 5 days, countless times everyday I noticed my buff thumbs starting to develop.
