contra thumb

A sore and/or numb sensation between the nuckle and base of the thumb caused by hitting the joystick button of a game controller for hours on end. The ailment became common after playing a classic side-scrolling shooter called, "Contra". Sometimes confused with carpal tunnel syndrome.

"I was up all night playing video games, and I woke up the next day with contra thumb."

Thumb taint

The flappy, webby piece of skin connecting the base of the thumb to the rest if the hand.

Thank God for my thumb taint. It keeps my thumb from hanging down and flapping onto my wrist.

Gold Thumb

Someone who is very good at making money. One who is extremely successful in their financial endeavors. Like the term green thumb, which is someone who is good at growing plants, someone with a gold thumb is good at growing wealth.

I have made a profit on every stock I have ever purchased. They say that I have a gold thumb.

Wow, Carter just opened that carwash last month, and it’s already turning a profit. Boys got a gold thumb.

The mobile device equivelant of a page turner.

It comes from the flicking motion your thumb makes as you scroll through a post thread or story.
