That matches the definition for "Deaf World"... where deaf people share their experiences with other deaf people.

Nods, I'd certainly agree with that. During my days at VSDB, Deaf used to refer to Deaf culture (this was before the Deaf pride movement) as the Deaf World and the hearing culture as the Hearing world. I've always thought the ASL phrase "Deaf World" had this definition in mind.
