Thumb in the Can

A phrase used to describe the finality of a decision made by someone.

Once someone has made a decision and can not back out of it.

Derives from the immature act of sticking one's thumb in a can and attempting to pull it back out.

Jim: Why don't you just leave her?
Ted: I can't mate, I've got my thumb in the can now.

Wish I'd have said no to that promotion...now I've got my thumb in the can.

When you blow up your thumb with explosives so it swells and needs stitches, in order to use it sexually because your dick isn't big enough for her.

She was going to leave me because of my micro penis. So I threw some SLAPP rounds down range until my 50 exploded. Now my Kentucky thumb will keep us together for 2 more weeks.
