Thumbie

A Thumbie is a specific type of Indian person from Durban, South Africa only.
A Thumbie:

-talks in a bad Indian accent
-uses a lot of local slang when talking (often mispronounced)
-uses an excessive amount of hair gel

-listens to deep house music, old R&B, 2pac or any gangster music.
-is ratchet or close to being ratchet
-mainly talks about drinking, fighting, cars, soccer (Manchester United & Liverpool only) and insult people by picking on the person's mother
There are few other traits that make an Indian a Thumbie that are not mentioned, but usually it is something that is ratchet
A Thumbie has all or most of these traits. An Indian with 1 or 2 of these traits MAY NOT be regarded as a Thumbie. Thumbie behaviour is obviously cool to Thumbies when it is actually not. As a result, it is hard to take Thumbies seriously. They are basically a joke
*important* There are normal Indians in South Africa, it is only a certain percentage of Indians that are the Thumbies

Normal Indian guy 1: Check out that guy blasting 2pac in his VW Golf 1.
Normal Indian guy 2: Yes, he is definitely a Thumbie.

Thumbie

Typically a dark skinned indian living in areas of South Africa such as Phoenix, Chatsworth and Westville. Thumbies typically wear Superga shoes with jeans or shorts and collared shirts. You can generally recognise a thumbie from the massive amounts of gel in his hair which is being shined on by the sun. Thumbies love the sport volleyball and are always ready for it (usually keeping their volleyball shorts underneath their school pants). A Thumbies family usually include gay/bi-sexual cousins. Or a mother that is never there. There may also be an alcoholic aunt who likes to drive over dogs.

White guy "Bru, do you see all the gel in that guys hair?"
Indian guy "Yeah, he's a thumbie man."

Cross-Thumbing

Cross-Thumbing is a technique developed by Dr. Mark Ringwald PhD. and Dr. Nick Pollack PhD. at their video gaming ergonomic laboratories at Brandeis University. The technique is mostly applied when playing the Nazi Zombie segment of "Call of Duty: World at War". The technique consists of controlling the right thumb stick of an XBox 360 controller with one's left thumb while the right thumb is occupied with pressing one of the four buttons above the right thumb stick. The crossing over of the left thumb across the center of the controller, and in said gaming application is most useful while rebuilding barriers in the zombie level's windows to slow down the flow of zombies in the house. The technique allows the player to repair said barrier as well as aim and dispatch targets within the level.

Thumber

A sexual maneuver used to enhance the doggy style position whereby, without notice during vigorous pussy stoking action, the male licks his thumb and inserts it two knuckles deep into the girl's anus. May induce intense bucking and loud shrills which merely enhance the experience.

Rachel was bucking like a bronco last night when I surprised her with a thumber.
