All Thumbs

All Thumbs
Someone who is very awkward and clumbsy is all thumbs. Example: Hey! You are pouring my coffee on the table!\” Reply: \”Oh, I\’m so sorry! I have been all thumbs today.\”

The hand works best when four fingers work together with one thumb; if you had all thumbs (and no fingers) it would be awkward for you to hold things or pick things up. Example: \”Oh, darn! I broke a glass. I really am all thumbs today.\”

Some people are clumbsy with their hands in general: they are all thumbs. But most people just have certain days when they are distracted and so are all thumbs for a period of time. Example: \”Ouch! You cut my ear.\” Reply: \”I\’m so sorry. I have been all thumbs all day.\”
