An adult who whines about very trivialthings. Making them appear childish.
A woman sitting at a traffic light, behind a car displaying a non-Christian Evolve Fish emblem, yelled unchristian obscenities to the driver.
The passenger in the car next to her rolled down his window, and calmly asked? "Do you realize how childish your behaving?"
At this she screamed more angry obscenities.
The passenger calmly waited for her to calm down, and as if speaking to a child, said. "Where's your mommy? Thumbsucker."

Apparently a newspaper article that Veep Dick Cheney, (rumored de facto President), seeks to discredit.
Possibly reflecting British slang for "immature weakling" implying that intellectual "weenies" are piling onto Cheney's decline in power with pondering analysis.
On "Meet the Press", 9/10/06, host Tim Russert questioned the Vice President about an article in the New York Times published on the same day entitled "Cheney’s Power No Longer Goes Unquestioned" by David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt.
(Admittedly the specific meaning needs pegging better, but hey this is a start.)
"...that (New York Times article) is just another one of those thumbsuckers..." -- Richard "Deadeye Dick" Cheney (Sept. 10, 2006)
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
