Rulla tummarna

Twiddle one's thumbs
Idiom
[That can be done, but it can be frustrating.] The world doesn't wait for you to go through your research, ... You're sitting there doing your research and while you twiddle your thumbs, Rome is burning.
Hugh Johnson
It is Israel that must recognize Palestine's rights. We cannot believe in empty statements, twiddle our thumbs and watch our children getting killed. Israel must end occupation and aggression, and our actions won't take much longer after that.
Khaled Mashaal
HOVEL, n. The fruit of a flower called the Palace.
Twaddle had a hovel, Twiddle had a palace; Twaddle said: "I'll grovel Or he'll think I bear him malice" -- A sentiment as novel As a castor on a chalice.
Down upon the middle Of his legs fell Twaddle And astonished Mr. Twiddle, Who began to lift his noddle. Feed upon the fiddle- Faddle flummery, unswaddle A new-born self-sufficiency and think himself a [mockery.] --G.J.

It's a very complicated picture, with people having conflicting views. It's not simply thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
Andy Kohut
He's hitting fifth and playing left field, ... He gave me a thumbs up. I said, 'How we doing boys,' and he went thumbs up. I didn't want to ask anymore, so he's in there.

Attitudes are a little more complicated than thumbs up or thumbs down. Americans do care about Iraq, but it doesn't have the personal impact that the war in Vietnam had. Secondly, this is a more patriotic time. Even though the public is disillusioned with the war in Iraq, it tends to support the concept of preemptive war at a time when most people feel we're at risk.
Andrew Kohut
I'm not worried about the team or what this does for our future. I'm just worried about Jay. I'm worried about the severity of his injury for his career. We just have to wait and see. Our thoughts are with him.
Bill Cartwright
He's an eight-time Gold Glove outfielder; I'm certainly not worried about Jim Edmonds. I'm certainly not worried about him at the plate, I'm certainly not worried about him in the field. He's a huge part of this team, and right in the middle of everything.
