When Roman gladiators received the thumbs down signal, it meant that a he was to live. It signified that the guards were to put their swords into the ground.
Although I do not remember the name of the program, it was on the History Channel hosted by Peter Weller and he explained that thumbs down has been misinterpreted by Hollywood.

What idiots give virtually any definition on UD. Whether or not its actually a bad definition or even if it's neutral. People must just do it it because they think it makes them look tough and they're a just fucktards who can't just be mature enough to use this "rating system" properly.
By giving this definition a thumbs down you are just conforming to the afformentioned stereotpye. Use rating systems properly, no matter how pointless they are.

My fellow motorist gave my driving the thumbs down, before speeding off with his arm and middle finger extended.
I'm sorry, but this definition is crude, immature and a failed attempt at humour. I've just have to give it a thumbs down
The roman gladiatorial type looked about the colloseum to see row after row of thumbs down, so he cast his net over the opponent and speared him through.

Certain assholes on this site that give your definition that you made a thumbs down for no damn reason. For the people that do give thumbs down, my message for you all is:
Go fuck yourself. Really long and really hard...Until you die. :D
Some asshole on Urban dictionary just gave my definiton a thumbs down!
