Similar to a fist bump, but more intimate, given the smaller surface area. First observed among parents and their kids.

A Thumb Bump is a fist bump with a thumbs up to finish it off. Originated on classic TV show Thunder in Paradise. Randolph "Hurricane" Spencer and Martin "Bru-dog" Brubaker would do a Thump Bump to celebrate a job well done.
