cat got your thumbs?

When someone doesn't text you back after you text them, you text them "cat got your thumbs?". It's a play on "cat got your tongue?", which is an idiom used to compel someone to speak who is unusually quiet.

Sam texts: "Hey what's up, I'm in your hood"
No response....
Sam texts: "Cat got your thumbs?"

thumbs up

An action with the hands that used to be used solely an expression of agreement or acceptance, but when used as an emoji on social media can now also mean "I'm pleased for you, but don't want to carry on the conversation" - a polite version of "whatever" - a way of saying 'whatever' but pretending that you liked what they said.

A:"did you see my photo of the grand canyon. What an amazing place! You should visit it sometime"
A's friend: <thumbs up emoji>

thumbs-down activism

Clicking the thumbs-down button on youtube, urban dictionary, or elsewhere because it offends your ethical sensibilities, in the hope that this action will somehow contribute to social change.

Jimmy thumbs-downed a definition because it wasn't politically correct.

Newt Gingrich reduced us to thumbs-down activism when he disabled comments on his videos.
