Another expression using the thumb with an unpleasant meaning is when you say someone "thumbs his nose at" you ... It's quite an insulting gesture, so be careful about whom you thumb your nose at.

 

 

Hi,

It seems the bolded "about" in the above is optional for me.

Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.
