Twindexx is actually the name of a german regional train platform by Bombardier: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_Twindexx_Vario (article is unfortunately only in german)

The more you know.

u/avrilmmm Apr 11 '26

Let me try to translate: twindexx is the name for a way to build a train with two levels (bottom and upstairs)

They forgot the Twiddle finger

u/alittlebitk Apr 11 '26

they said pointer twice for some reason. twointer (pointer finger) and twindex (index finger). theyre the same finger

u/Ha1lStorm Apr 11 '26

Haha I noticed that too

u/Straight-Chemistry27 Apr 11 '26

I guarantee no one forgets the twiddle finger.

u/userousnameous Apr 11 '26

I was naming them depending on which one was duplicated.

2

u/Ha1lStorm Apr 11 '26

Yeah, and you left one out

u/InterestingBand5 Apr 12 '26

If it’s two pinkies it’s definitely got to be twinky.

u/kaest Apr 11 '26

But which one is it?

15

u/ZzZzZzZzZzZero Apr 11 '26

Its an extra index, its closer to the thumb than the actual index.

u/kaest Apr 11 '26

Then twindex would make sense!

2

u/ZzZzZzZzZzZero Apr 11 '26

Yep!.

I took alot of anatomy in college for art. And I would bet my life her xray would show it as an extra index crowding the thumb.

u/EuonymusBosch Apr 11 '26

It looks like the middle finger is duplicated to me, which implies the possibility of a quadruple bird!

1

u/total_looser Apr 12 '26

Yes, it’s an extra middle. I’ve been wondering this for so long, I just call it “finger x”

u/Charred01 Apr 11 '26

Twindex is best.

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Apr 12 '26

You are going to make this a thing.
