What would be the opposite of the rule of thumb called? The rule of pinky toe? It kinda makes sense because it's like smashing your pinky toe against a solid surface in the dark

    "Foot gun" for shooting one's self in the foot.

    If you require a more crass application just substitute another body part for "foot".

    For example:

    Wow, I can't believe that guy actually committed that code.

    Yeah, he really shot himself in the dick with that one.

    Thumb and pinky toe are both digits. I think the opposite of thumb should be more like kidney. And why is only the 'thumb' getting inverted? If anything, 'rule' is the dominant noun here. Anarchy of thumb? Chaos ofn't kidney?
