	Tried to go with "What has two thumbs and doesn't care....this guy" for expression of defiance

	The word "thumb" looks and sounds really weird after you type it about three times.

	Tried every spelling I could think of for Opposable thumb, but never thought to pluralize it.

	For something to do when you're bored, I tried "Sit around with your thumb up your..." but it didn't like it. Oh, and I think using the specific gaming system for the condition is unneccessary. It can apply to any gaming system and "gamer's thumb" should be acceptable.

	I got "twiddle one's thumbs" when I actually started twiddling my thumbs as I was thinking. Love it. And I have to agree with Guinevere.

	Ohh, FEATURE of primates. Not fear. Wow, I'm tired.

	Thumb wrestled with this one for a while.

	Maybe accept "thumbprints" for the shortbread treat? And the singular "opposable thumb"?

	steel03:	Jan 21st, 2011 at 18:59 GMT		13 points
	Well, thumb doesn't sound like a word anymore, so there's that.

	finesse:	Jan 21st, 2011 at 19:04 GMT		9 points
	Uk usage would be "thumb a lift" not "ride"... Accept both?

	gellchom:	Jan 21st, 2011 at 20:06 GMT		2 points
	Don't worry, oshj, at first I actually thought the answer was "Sit on one's thumb." But your formula made me laugh out loud.

	Meltha:	Jan 21st, 2011 at 20:21 GMT		7 points
	Anyone else try thumbwrestling and playing "Where is Thumbkin?" for a toddler's passtime? Also, "thumbing" it for hitchhiking?

	pete32782:	Jan 21st, 2011 at 21:49 GMT		9 points
	85.3% have never heard of thumbprint cookies. Myself included.

	Annie:	Jan 21st, 2011 at 22:11 GMT		8 points
	I tried 'thumb biting' and 'I bite my thumb at you' for the Shakespeare one, and I was disappointed in the lack of alternate answers.

	thumb index is your one and only bonus

	Nintendo thumb is a bit out of date now, no? Regardless, lovely little quiz.

	mustango:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 03:33 GMT		5 points
	By the pricking of my thumbs, the right answer for Shakespeare did not come.

	Another hallmark of primates is fingernails, so thumbnail might be an acceptable alternative.

	buckleppin:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 03:45 GMT		12 points
	I lol'd at the url.

	kenmorebrian:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 04:06 GMT		5 points
	Kept trying different iterations of thumb wrestling for "when you're bored." That one seems to come up in a lot of spots and should probably be at least a bonus answer.

	fm_:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 04:43 GMT		4 points
	Took me forever to get the expression of defiance. If it followed the patterns of others, it would have just accepted "thumb nose."

	fluffy:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 05:32 GMT		5 points
	I said what the hell and tried "carpal thumb"

	craigmeister:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 07:02 GMT		0 points
	I agree. Thumbprint doe not need cookie. There is no thumbprint donut.

	Tried "opposed thumb" and "opposing thumb" - more interested in chem than bio - oh well.

	quent1979:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 23:17 GMT		1 point
	I find it hard to believe that half the people didn't know "thumb a ride". It's what I did all through college.

	quent: I've always said "bum a ride"... never realized that I might be mis-saying it until now. Also, yeah, I tried about fifteen combinations of "bite" and "thumb" for the Shakespeare one before giving up.

	I love jam thumbprints. Then again I rarely meet a cookie I don't like.

	One's is a possessive like Jesse's Girl.

	RecycleNazi:	May 10th, 2011 at 02:14 GMT		1 point
	Accept "Under your thumb" for "Subordinate to"? Maybe "Suck your thumb" for "Toddler's favorite activity?" I also second the idea of adding "thumbwrestling" for a bored activity, or even a new clue altogether. Fun quiz!

	For the record, it's Andersen rather than Anderson. :-) Fun quiz!

	Nintendo Thumb ftw

	krh5038:	Mar 6th, 2012 at 22:31 GMT		1 point
	I always called them "santa's thumbprints" so I missed that one.

	Crewdy:	Apr 10th, 2012 at 00:45 GMT		2 points
	Am I the only one who tried thumbitis for the condition? Also who twiddles their thumbs when we have sporcle?
