    But the thumb usually points upwards according to my most recent experiments, but never backwards. Sounds like there might be some mud wrestling in the air? Probably just me, and thanks for this old saw.

    interesting... i've always seen or observed the thumb down...

    Thumb down means you're clasping in your three aforementioned digits, so never punch somebody while doing this or you could break your thumb. All guys know this instinctively. Mindless trivia and thanks NR.

    actually i was thinking of seeing the hand palm down with the thumb to the side of the other digits... and nah not mindless trivia at all but that i know of and have experienced... you break the thumb if you curl the digits over it... never broke my thumb yet with it over the others but that's a fist as opposed to 'pointing' and only against a helpless heavy bag
