It �s a "thumbs up" sign (although there �s usually only one thumb involved, I �ve never heard it referred to in the singular). As far as I know, it can be interpreted in so many different ways depending on where in the world you are. Where I come from, it tends to be quite positive. What �s its significance in Saudi Arabia?

In the US it �s a positive sign. It �s usually used to indicate approval and/or encouragement, such as:
"Well done!"
"Hey, nice work--keep it up!"
"Way to go!"

It �s sometimes used as a gesture of liking/disliking something. In response to a question like "How was the movie?" (or the restaurant, food, party, etc.) a thumbs up indicates you liked it, would recommend it, etc. and the same gesture with the thumb pointing down indicates you didn �t like it, it �s not worth your friend �s time or money to do, and so on.

But I, too, am curious as to its meaning in other cultures.

Thanks, Dora!

Apparently in some countries it �s "an obscene gesture", so I just have to use my imagination to figure out what that means  Ermm  ...or maybe not.  I �ll just try to remember not to use it if I ever go to those countries, I guess.
