Has Two Thumbs and... - Television Tropes & Idioms

Bob Kelso. He added a funny voice to keep it fresh.

Let's say somebody is talking about something you have no interest in. Now, you could say, "yeah, whatever", but that lacks a certain ... flair. Fortunately, there is a better alternative:

Step 1: Pronounce the phrase, "What has two thumbs and doesn't care?"

Step 2: Hold up both hands at chest level, fingers curled and thumbs out, with the thumbs pointing toward yourself.

Step 3: (optional) "This guy!"

Naturally, the expression may be easily modified to express other things.
