on the tip of my thumb

Rule of thumb

A rule of thumb is a general guideline or basic principle that people use based on experience, not an exact rule or law.

The origin of the phrase likely comes from using the thumb as a quick measuring tool (about an inch wide)

“As a rule of thumb, if pasta sticks to the wall, it’s done cooking.”

thumbs-diagonal

Somewhat better than "thumbs-horizontal" --- i.e., where you don't know "one way or da other" or " whether it's a 'ding' or 'buzz'" --- in dat you think you've got a better-than-fifty-fifty chance of a positive outcome, but cannot be sure enough yet to do da Fonzie-gesture.

My buddy asked me to run in da store to ask if they were giving out free calendars this year; da clerk said dat they might be, but hadn't heard for sure yet, so I came out and gave my friend a thumbs-diagonal sign.
