"Dumb" is an English word that dates back to Old English (around the 9th–10th century), originally meaning "mute" or unable to speak. Over time, especially from the 16th century onward, it developed a figurative meaning referring to someone lacking intelligence or the ability to think clearly. The term is used in informal, educational, or critical contexts to describe poor judgment or mental slowness. It is mildly derogatory but not vulgar, and its offensiveness depends on tone and context, sometimes used teasingly rather than harshly.

The idiom "thumbs up" has its origin in ancient Roman culture, where a thumbs up gesture was used as a sign of approval or agreement. Gladiatorial contests in ancient Rome often involved life-or-death situations, and the crowd would signal their preference for the fate of the defeated combatant. A thumbs up indicated that the crowd wished the gladiator to be spared, while a thumbs down meant a fatal blow. Over time, the thumbs up gesture evolved into a universally recognized sign of positive affirmation or approval.
