Sampson bites his thumb at Abraham, which is considered a provocative gesture and insults him. This action escalates the tension between the Montagues and Capulets in the play.
He doesn't really put his thumb in his mouth, he bites the skin on this thumb or maybe he bites his nail. It's up to you to decide. Anyway, I think that it's because everytime he bites it he is thinking very hard about something, so I guess it's his 'thinking pose'. But that's just my opinion.

I was wondering too but I found out. If you want to know try taking your index and thumb and pinching your finger (with the finger nails) If a parakeet bites you don't jerk your hand away he/she will think that that's how to make the hand leave his/her cage.
You're making her a little nervous. And she probably likes you. (Either that, or she doesn't know you're alive, her thumbnail is bugging her, and she's biting it off.)
