Settling An Argument Once And For All

A Finger. When someone say's they can count to five by the fingers on one hand they're not referring to a mutated little nub they happen to have been born with.

And Gulibl, monkey's don't have opposable thumbs. If you see them use their hands you'll notice they can only move their thumbs like a normal finger, not all over the place like humans can.

Nope! Why do the Simpsons characters have four fingers? Same reason people have four fingers. We were lucky and got a Thumb, too.!

Depends on the type of social situation.

I direct the doubters also to the first sentence of the Wikipedia article upon the thumb

The thumb is one of the five fingers.

No, I mean thumbs aren't fingers, but unless you're being a prick about it it's easier to talk about it like a finger. If someone cuts of their thumb, and they scream out "OH MY GOD I LOST A FINGER" you aren't going to walk up and go, "uh, dude, you still have all your fingers. You mean you lost your thumb?"

It is debatable
