Okay, I finally found it. Thank you very much. It sucks not having many people in my town who can help me with vocabulary that is Greek to me. :P

Quite possibly. Does it fit my description? None of the dictionaries that I use have a direct sign to CHERISH.

Okay, so instead of asking for a English-to-ASL translation, I would appreciate the opposite. I see this particular sign in song interpretations a lot, but I can never really guess what it means through context (which I'm pretty good at): The sign is a one-handed "c" shape facing self near...

I've always wondered what goes on in a moron's mind, but then I remember that they're morons for a reason. :lol:

OH! And then he tells me that the actual sign for "calm down" is wrong. WTH??

Yeah, I'm no expert on ASL (yet :D), but I certainly know more than a guy who thinks that "calm down" is basically the sign for "thank you" on your forehead. It also "urks" me when I show a sign to someone, and they say "why don't they just do this: *insert absurd substitution for the actual...

So, these jerks in my French keep coming up to me and asking me for ridiculous signs for just about everything (some of you may already know this). Today, one of them tried to tell me a sign that they somehow already knew before I knew them, and when I said he was way off (not even remotely...

Unfortunately, there isn't much of a Deaf Community in my area if at all. There are some deaf and hard-of-hearing people (such as my dad), but NONE of them know even basic sign language because of technology, and a lot of people treat deafness like it's a burden. So, it's really difficult for me...

Believe me, I don't use them much either (though I have my days where it's more frequent), but it's always good to know what you're being called, but LDNanna said the guy was gay, and like to eat something that started with a "P," so it kind of fit, and I have seen signs that mean that and look...

What is the sign that you implied, by chance? I'm really curious now. :hmm:

I've said before that I'm not fluent, and I don't know a lot of the dirty words; just the "mainstream" ones." :laugh2:

I probably do, but the question still stands. :giggle:

Yeah, we hearing people can be very ignorant and mean about it. :giggle: By the way, are there multiple signs for the "dirty word" that you mentioned. I've seen the initialized sign on the nose (including the one with the "D") as well as the two-handed version that looks a lot like an...

I guess I could sign "ADD+SPEED," which is basically what turbocharged means. :giggle:

Well, if they do actually take the time to learn the basics in order to learn anything from me, that means they have no time on their hands, or they really want to learn sign language, but kind of knowing them, it's just a very strategic way to say "Screw you." :lol: (These emotes are fantastic...

:hmm: Good idea, but how would you sign that? I still have a loooot to learn. :Oops:

I also have no problem whatsoever teachings dirty words to people who are legitimately interested in learning the language, and just want to be able to use it IN CONTEXT but if that's all they want to know, I'm like ."No. You have to earn the right to these words." What also pisses me off is...

Okay, so there are a couple dip-shits in my French class (need the credits to graduate with honors) who keep asking me for very signs so they can insult each other. I'm fine with people asking me for signs as long as they're not just trying to learn the insulting words. So, instead of just...

How would you sign "bending over backwards?" I'm trying to perfect an ASL interpretation of "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz, but I'm not sure how to sign those lyrics. In case you don't already know the lyrics I'll put it up, so you can tell me in context: "I've been spending way too long checking...

I'm hearing, but I sign due to 1) a severe stutter whenever I try to talk to people, and 2) just a natural distaste in talking (to the point where people used to think I was deaf when I was little). My friends, on the otherhand, do not understand this, and get annoyed whenever I sign. What they...
