Hollywood.

Is the word Hollywood simply finger spelled or is there a quick sign for it?

Thanks guys!

My guess it that it's fingerspelled.

If you live in that area, there is no doubt a regional sign for it, but outside the area, I would fingerspell it.

There is a sign for it...both hands in the '5' handshape and at the top of your chest with the thumbs facing you. Alternating hands, move them by extending them in and out from your chest with the thumbs touching it when extending them in. Hope that was clear?

Shel90, do you have a webcam? (I believe you do) and then once you are finished, upload it on youtube.

That is how we sign "Hollywood" up here in the Northwest.

Although I do have a question about it.....what was the origin of the sign?

Good question, that. I use "crap" alot. Would be nice to incorporate it into my (paltry) lexicon of signs.
