rule of thumb

A rough measure or method, without precise mathematical or scientific basis. This term, which probably alluded to using one’s thumb as an approximate measuring device, has been around since the seventeenth century and made it into James Kelly’s collection of Scottish proverbs (1721): “No rule so good as rule of thumb, if it hit. But it seldome hits!” Some individuals have pointed to the “rule” proposed in 1782 by an English judge, Francis Buller, who proclaimed that men had the right to beat their wives provided that the stick used was no thicker than the husband’s thumb.
