This three word idiom means to tell something that was supposed to be confidential or betray a secret. In ASL, the second word is not signed.

1. Holding both hands together in front of you in the beginning of the “and” signs, drop the hands apart, spreading your fingers.

2. The four curved fingers of the right hand makes little hops along the extended forefinger of the left hand, like for small vegetables such as peas in a pod or kernels of corn.

You got it, G.I. I'm sure Cathe is hoping you'll now make up an idiom for us.

While we are awaiting our next idiom, here are some instructions for how to easily get in on this game. Below I will post two links to English Idiom web sites. Scroll through till you see an idiom you like. The sites also have the meanings so you can just cut and paste those in.

1. give the English Idiom and then give the meaning.(do this in any order)
2. Explain how to sign this preferably with out using any words that are in the original Idiom. (Example: In "All Hell Broke loose" for Broken you can sign broken but in your description say something like, "use two a shape hands and snap something like taking a thing apart") This will help Deafies improve English skills and help Hearies improve ASL skills. We Hearies usually are having to look up how each idea is signed so you Deafies will have to look up words in an online Thesaurus. Like what other words mean break? Pull up your on line thesaurus and look up break. Ta Dah! There is the alternative list of English words you can use in your describing how to sign something for us. It is tedious but not hard!
Just think of all the new brain cells you are generating with this game!Have Fun! Each person that guesses an Idiom now has to create one for us to guess. If you just can't come up with one, you may pass. (But not everytime!) At least try!

Only hint I can think of is what a person will say to play!!!!

"See the queen of hearts... Now watch where she goes, where will she land, If you pick right, you win, but if you wrong, I get your money."

Also, it is 7 letters, 3 are not signed. One means something different then it is. Still sign the following slowly, or u might miss it:

Hand......RUN.....Then....EYE(not the letter, point to the eye)

Handsome_Smiley · 02-10-2008, 03:32 PM

well, I am going to bed, if you can't figure it out,(I am sure your hands have already figured it out before your eyes caught it), I will tell you what it is in about 2 hours, time I will get up to put some clothes in the dryer.

My daughter was reading that one and asked me, "Mom, whats the name of that game where you have to guess where something is?" Thats when I figured this one out. OK My turn.

Make an A shape hand palm down. Now with the right hand come down on top of your left wrist with a two fingered claw shape, palm down. (as in individual parts of your skeletal system) Do this motion repeatedly as in the sign that means what you do for a living.

English Meaning: exhausting labor

Thank you Tousi, Being the dyslexic that I am I googled that word and they had it Slight of Hand. So thank you and I'll try to check more than one link to get my spelling correct. I'm glad I have spell check or you guys probably wouldn't be able to even read what I right/rite/write.
