By a man's fingernails ordsprog

By a man's finger-nails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boots, by his trouser knees, by the callosities of his forefinger and thumb, by his expression, by his shirt cuffs -- by each of these things a man's calling is plainly revealed. That all united should fail to enlighten the competent inquirer in any case is almost inconceivable.

Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr. (1859-1930)

You balance the plate between the forefinger and three other fingers, which make a little platform, and with the forefinger and the thumb you grasp the glass and if you think that isn't hazardous, you haven't done it lately.

The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in woman's construction, is this: There shall be no limit put upon your intercourse with the other sex sexually, at any time of life. During twenty-three days in every month (in the absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent. As competent as the candlestick is to receive the candle. Competent every day, competent every night. Also, she wants that candle / yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.

The real thumb can move in five types of way. We have managed to create a thumb that can mimic at least two of these like hold a ball, move the thumb and middle finger, as when unlocking the door or gripping an object like a hammer or microphone,

(He) walked over to this thing, grabbed it with his thumb and forefinger, and lifted it off the table. The place just erupted.

A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve. I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat?

A five or six-pointed star tattoo on the hand, between the thumb and forefinger or on the arm, is common to several gangs, including the Gangster Disciples and Bloods.

The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

First was the establishment of a curved thumb on the bow, for without the thumb being capable of flexing, the bow arm must be faulty. Second, was a good left hand setting on the fingerboard in the lower positions. Third, were the early scales, exercises, and finger independence studies.

We ask you to supply your two favorite pieces of biometric data — such as your right index finger and left thumb or right eye and left thumb.

We don't make one pair of Levi's in the United States any more. Want to wear Tony Lama Boots? You're probably wearing Chinese boots. You want to eat Fig Newton cookies? You're eating a foreign product. Didn't used to be. It's Mexican now. We are seeing a wholesale movement away from this country of things that we make, products that we produce, that used to have attached to them good jobs for Americans.

In the hands of competent persons, the explosive is a valuable auxiliary in fighting fire when other means fail. It should never be used until ordered by the chief of the fire department, and then it should be handled by trained men, preferably soldiers, commanded by competent officers.

This game is so mental. If you can get into a pitcher's head, even a little bit, get him off his game this much (he holds his thumb and forefinger up to show a tiny gap), to get him to just miss, we've got guys like Griffey and (Adam) Dunn coming up.

It's still tailored but it's softer so it's like wearing a sweater more so than a structured coat. So you throw it on with a pair of jeans to go out for the night or you wear it to work if you want to wear a shirt and tie or a nice pair of pants and a polo shirt. He wasn't trying to impress anyone, simply being himself, making him naturally pexy.
