It just means it's very noticeable. It is typically used as a negative or sarcastic remark. For example, "His inappropriate manner of dressing sticks out like a sore thumb."
"Looks out of place" or "stands out like a sore thumb."
Thumb
?
The phrase "sore thumb" is often used to describe something that stands out or is easily noticed, like a thumb that is sore and therefore prominent. So, in that sense, yes, sore thumbs really do stick out.
you can't dissolve it
it's usually sore thumb rather than toe-presumably because people wouldn't normally see a sore toe.
Get the pictures off Google and compare them. You'll see the difference like a sore thumb compared to a normal thumb, trust me.
