    What would be the opposite of the rule of thumb called? The rule of pinky toe? It kinda makes sense because it’s like smashing your pinky toe against a solid surface in the dark

      “Foot gun” for shooting one’s self in the foot.

      If you require a more crass application just substitute another body part for “foot”.

      For example:

      Wow, I can’t believe that guy actually committed that code.

      Yeah, he really shot himself in the dick with that one.
