A rule of thumb is a general principle or guideline that provides practical advice based on experience rather than strict rules or scientific precision. It is often used to simplify decision-making in complex situations, allowing individuals to make quick assessments or judgments. While helpful, it may not always be accurate or applicable in every context.
Twiddling thumbs can be a sign of boredom, impatience, or nervousness. It may indicate that the person is feeling restless or anxious and is seeking a way to distract themselves.
In ancient Rome, a thumbs down actually symbolized death or a gladiator's defeat in the arena. It was a signal for the emperor to decide whether the gladiator should be spared or killed.
Sticking out your tongue while giving a thumbs up is often seen as a playful or joking gesture. It can indicate cheekiness, silliness, or a light-hearted attitude.
"Twiddling thumbs" refers to the act of idly turning or fiddling with one's thumbs, often symbolizing boredom or inactivity. It typically conveys a sense of waiting without any productive engagement.

The 'thumbs down gesture' in Ancient Rome was used in the gladiator ring during a fight. It was used to mean to kill the gladiator that was losing the fight.
The thumbs up in Roman times meant the opposite to that of today. The crowd in the arena would signal to the victorious gladiator that they would have him kill his opponent. A thumbs down was that the opponent should be spared.
Opposing thumbs refer to thumbs that can be positioned opposite the fingers on the same hand, allowing for a strong grip and greater dexterity. This unique feature is found in primates and some other animals, enabling them to grasp and manipulate objects with precision.
It means to execute the other gladiator instead of letting him live. it was very common to get a thumbs down.
