An extremely fun and short-lived game we used to play in primary school.
RULES:
1. 2-4 kids are picked from a crowd of, say, schoolkids, in a classroom, who then goto the front of the room.
2. The rest of the kids in the room place their heads on the table so they can't see, but put their thumbs pointing upwards.
3. The kids at the front then proceed around the room and pick out one individual of the people with their thumbs up, and brush their thumbs. (One person not playing the game, usually the teacher, moniters the progress of the walkers and should take a mental note of who was picked.) The person whos thumbs have been brushed pull their thumbs itno their fists so they cant be chosen again. When the walkers have each done this to one person each, they return to the front of the room.
4. The kids sit back up and the ones who had their thumbs brushed stand up (if the number of people standing up exceeds the number of walkers then the game must be restarted, coz somebody's not playing fair) and then have one guess each at who did the thumb brushing. if they guess corectly they become a walker and the walker sits back down, and the whole game starts up again. Pretty cool huh?
TIP ON HOW TO WIN:
1. make a tiny hole out the sit of your arm to try and see through
2. try to set yourself up in a position in which you can see the floor and therefore the shoes of the person who brushes your thumb. compare shoes when guessing.
3. try to make a note of the gentleness or verocity in which your thumb was brushed. If it was a gentle brush and there are two people to choose from, the guy that steals your lunch money and a girl who wouldnt touch a brick for fear of hurting it, then a good guess would assume the girl was, perhaps, the one that brushed you. Be aware that even 7 year old baby bullies can be very sneaky.
4. when your thumb is brushed quickly whip up your head for a look and back down again, and hope no-one sees.

(adj.) Not doing what you should be doing, be it at work or in free time. Pls note it can be 'thumb up my/your/his/hers/possessive pronoun's ass" as needed. I just put "your" in the entry title because it's the most common.
Manager bitching at employee at anywhere Wal Mart USA: Yo! Cletus! Stop sitting around with your thumb up your ass and get unpacking those crates.

What most people constantly beg for with a comment in any YouTube video. Mostly in form of an exact quote from the video being watched.

A thumbs up acknowledgement done specifically by the left hand when a left-hander does anything left-handed and does it very well
When left-handed golfer Bubba Watson made a 75 foot chip shot directly into the cup, left-handed fans gave him the left-handed thumbs up in appreciation of the shot.

A Top gun Thumbs up is similar to a regular thumbs up, only its held for much longer and you turn your hand to the side so the person youre giving the thumbs up to, can see the back of your hand.
its called a "Top Gun Thumbs Up" because during the entire film, that is all Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer ever did, never giving proper thumbs up to each other and at times, it seems as though their right hands are permenantly STUCK in that position.
