I'm sure context plays a role, just like in rapid spoken speech, "beach" and "b*tch" probably sound the same, but we know from context which one is being said.

I was at a Deaf event playing DINGO, it's kind of like a card version of bingo. A diamond card came up and I signed... 8 vagina! My friend looked at me and said What?!?! Once I saw her face I immediately realized what I signed. Oops!! lol I willn't do that one again!

Mistakes aren't so bad though, they help ya learn.

And they make good conversation later, hense this thread. hehe

I don't get to sign with people very often, but today I met someone who signs (hooray! someone I can practice with and learn from). Unfortunately, I'm always confusing the sign for "rubber" and "recent"... so I was very confused about the "rubber bride" he was talking about. When I asked him if he meant "blow up doll," he broke down in hysterics and we didn't get to converse much longer before classes started because he was laughing so hard he was crying

!

He was most definitely talking about a NEW bride. Yikes. Hopefully, he won't mind many more mistakes like that. I honestly have no idea what I was thinking. What sort of person starts talking about blow-up dolls after meeting someone new? Not him, that's for sure.

lol - evidently you aren't the only one 'cause his FRIEND who I never met was laughing about it today. Apparently we have class together too

Good thing I don't blush too easy, or I would have been bright red!
