Speaking of "thumbs up," my sisters and I have started an experiment of giving the "thumbs down" instead of the finger to the drivers of cars that piss us off. The reactions have been pretty hysterical, as most drivers are prepared for a hand gesture that implies that the driver is an asshole, and they are automatically prepared to be defensive. Then they get a hand gesture indicating disappointment and regret (it helps the gesture if you shake your head sadly) in the driver's previous behavior, and they start looking contrite and apologetic.

Everyone expects the finger. No one expects the thumbs down.

It's been fun. I've had to use it a lot.
