Only took a few years, but I finally get the joke. When fisherman catch a fish, they pose with their thumbs up showing off the catch.

I thought it was because it was a reference on how that same gesture is offensive in some Middle East countries(It’s the equivalent of a middle finger)
It also used to be the signal to kill in the gladiator ring. Thumbs down actually meant to sheath or put the sword into the sand.
I heard it in some countries that it means up one’s ass
