Thumbs Down is an internet slang term that expresses disapproval or dislike towards something. It is derived from the action of giving a “thumbs down” gesture, which traditionally signifies a negative or unfavorable response.

Examples:

1. Person A: Did you watch the new movie everyone is talking about?
Person B: Yeah, I did, and I have to give it a thumbs down. The plot was confusing, and the acting was mediocre.

2. Comment on a YouTube video:

First person: This song is amazing! Who else agrees?
Second person: Sorry, but I have to give it a thumbs down. It’s not my style, and I found it pretty repetitive.
