I don't have trouble thinking up English idioms, because I worked for a Japanese computer company in the early '80s teaching weekly classes to explain our crazy idioms.

The hard part for me is trying to put the signs into words. I have to sign the phrase many times and try to write it so it makes sense. Good practice.

Here's my next one:

This three-word English idiom means "dead" or “died.” In ASL, the middle word is not signed.

1. Hold the left S hand palm up, while the right B hand swings into it for “football” or “soccer.”

2. With the right arm out, closed hand down, the left index finger makes a loop underneath from wrist to elbow for “pail.”

Rebas off line for a moment, so I hope she won't mind if I stick this one in here just for fun!

Sign: Satan, fire, place, broken, escape

Meaning: a state of sudden pandamonium

Ok Go!

This two-word idiom means to be clumsy, not good with manual dexterity. Caution: Hearies will think you’re saying “all right” or “all okay.”

1. Begin with the open right hand on top of the open left hand in front of you, then lift the right hand to encircle the left back to its original position, as in “encompass” or “gathering.”

2. Hold up both “ten” signs and move them around.

hahahha! I had to sign this several times to get it! Is it

All Thumbs?

fredfam1 · 02-05-2008, 03:36 PM

I have to log off for awhile, (even though this is much more fun than laundry)
so here's my next one. If I don't answer in 1 hour someone go again for me please.

Ok sign: "appearance" with x shape hands around your face
then sign "about" directly in front of your nose

Military two word phrase meaning to reverse ones position

Reba · 02-05-2008, 03:39 PM

About face!

"About face !"

This three-word idiom means to start too soon. In ASL, the middle word is not signed.

1. The “V” fingers of the right hand bend on the upturned left palm, then spring straight up.

2. The right “L” hand starts pointing up, then drops to point forward.

Cool as a cucumber.

Chase · 02-05-2008, 05:09 PM

Continuing for Reba:

This is the mother of all idioms (hint). It’s usually said in nine words and means “Avoid foolish behavior” or “Care must be taken to keep what's good when ridding oneself of what's bad.”

1. Thumb starts under chin in “ten” sign, then flips outward. In ASL, this sign for a negative contraction may go last in the sentence.

2. Right S hand moving forward and opening to “toss.”

3. In ASL, third word not signed.

4. Both arms rocking like a cradle.

5. From “in” sign, pull right fingers up and clear of left closed fingers.

6. Both A hands (ten signs) together in front of torso, then pushed forward.

7. In ASL, seventh word is not signed.

8. Scrub the chest with both closed hands.

9. W sign with index finger touching mouth.

Reba · 02-05-2008, 05:39 PM

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Chase · 02-05-2008, 05:49 PM

Hey! That was supposed to be a toughie. Ever thought of becoming an interpreter?

You're right. Want your turn or another one?

Go for it. I'm on my BB now, sneaking a peak at AD.

Chase · 02-05-2008, 06:00 PM

This three-word idiom means, “I’m making a special effort to listen to you.”

1. Touch the thumb side of the "i" hand to your chest.

2. Put open right hand on open left hand in front of you, then lift the right hand to encircle over the top, around, and under the left hand back to the original position, as in “encompass” or “gathering.”

3. Point to those flaps of skin over vartilage at the sides of your head (that for the most of us at AD don’t work).

Bear · 02-05-2008, 06:06 PM

Im all ears?

Bear is the winner by two minutes. (Sorry I misspelled cartilage). Have a go at your own idiom, Bear.

Bear · 02-05-2008, 08:12 PM

Isn't this fun? Good job bear. Here's one.

Sign: intelligent, finish

Meaning: I've had enough of this situation and I can't deal with it anymore!

fredfam1 · 02-05-2008, 08:23 PM

Could one of the mods help correct my mistake? I need the name of the game
in the subject line.

It should be:

SLIGHT OF HAND

thanks

Bear · 02-05-2008, 08:31 PM

Fredfram let me make sure I am understanding you correctly before taking action. I am so tired right now I could change it to Charades lol.

You want me to change the name of the game to Slight of Hand instead of Rename my game?
