thumb wrestling
<thumb wresting> I watched them interlock their hands and pin down [each other's thumbs/the other's thumb]
Are both the same?
Thanks.

Hi,
<thumb wresting> I watched them interlock their hands and pin down [each other's thumbs/the other's thumb]
This sounds like both people's thumbs get pinned down. Surely the result is that only one thumb gets pinned down?
<thumb wresting> I watched them interlock their hands and try to pin down each other's thumb.
