The sexist rule schools follow, forcing female students' shorts to go to at least their thumbs, making it almost impossible to find an acceptable pair of shorts.
Teacher: Miss, your shorts don't follow the thumb rule.
Girl: They're the longest I could find.
Teacher: They're distracting the boys in the class.

that
annoying thing
when people
send you
a message
a few words
at a time
…forcing you to wait and wait until their message ends up looking like a wise, ancient scroll inciting needless drama and anticipation to their communication like it’s some sort of top secret briefing.

- Did Jim not text you about tonight?
- Yeah, but it was all in one of his thumb dribbles that went on and on, so I stopped reading it.

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.
