Sleight of Hand

oops trying again

Ok, I'm going to restart this game. And I'm going to rename
it! So the name of this game is:

SLIGHT OF HAND

The purpose of this game is to see if
you can guess the English idom. Try
to make up a sign that will help some
one guess what the idom is.

Example:

If I signed: If I tapped the letter R on the
top right side of my head and then placed that
R inside my c shaped hand, while shaking my
head no, what would that
English idom be?

Idom: I am not in my right mind
Meaning: I am crazy

Don't forget to type the Idiom and
then type the meaning.

OK here goes.

Make the sign for: "to begin" on the top of your head
then sign "want"

OK what is the English Idiom
and what is the meaning?

Oh, wow, this is hard. Unlocking my mind to wants? Turning the key to dreams and desires? Keep an open mind?

I'll go with the last as a possible idiom.

Getting warm Chase, think about the R. (Hint: direction)

Reba · 01-31-2008, 06:27 PM

It is very hard.

"Begin" on top of the head?

Chase · 01-31-2008, 06:38 PM

OK you guys you win by default because my dyslexic brain got the two
signs mixed up.I ammm Sorrrry!!!!!

The sign for "begin" on the top of your head.

It means, "Head Start"

Sorrry! My Bad! I'll do another one.

fredfam1 · 01-31-2008, 08:32 PM

You think I'm bad here you should see me at Church pot lucks when there
is total immersion. Sometimes I sign the word that is next in the sentence
before the last word and then sign the first word. Some how my Deaf friends
are able to interpret. (But not after a few curious looks)

OK next one.

Make the sign for "applying cosmetics" on the fore head.

What is the English idiom?

What is the meaning?

Okay... I signed it. That's kind of a tough one. The one that came to my mind was "Tap on the head." I'm pretty good with English idioms, but I will admit this one got me a little. :-/

I'm new at this game thing. So how many times should I let
people try befor I give the answer? How does this work?

Just a few... maybe 2 or 3 because after that, people start to lose interest.

Make up your mind! hahaha

fredfam1 · 01-31-2008, 10:06 PM

OK next one:

Make the sign for "break" on the top of your forehead and
then make the sign for "give it to" (directional, whoever you
are giving it to)

What is the English Idiom?

"Waiting for a bite"? The idiom meaning to relax between sales for a salesperson?

Tousi · 02-01-2008, 02:00 AM

I'm stumped!

"I am waiting with baited breath.

Meaning: eager anticipation of any event, (usually has
lovers implication. For example, the woman who must
wait for her man to finish work before they can be together
will caress his cheek and say in a sexy manner, "I am waiting
with baited breath. Bait = worm breath = worm crawling
across mouth.

fredfam1 · 02-01-2008, 12:31 PM

Make the hand shapes for "bone" but instead of placing them
on your chest with your wrists crossed, make an up and down
movement in front of your body, like you would for the sign "argue"

Meaning: Something that two people would argue about.

What is the English Idiom?
