The idiom "thumbs down" originated from ancient Roman culture. When gladiators fought to the death in arenas, the crowd would use gestures to indicate if a defeated gladiator should live or die. Thrusting a thumb downward meant death, so over time this expression came to symbolize disapproval or a negative judgment.
