Screwed?

Watermelon · 08-20-2009, 10:33 PM

I was out to lunch with a friend from work today, and we practice signing off each other. We were talking about how someone is screwed, and was wondering how to sign that.

How would you sign "that person is screwed"? Screwed, as in that person is very unlucky. I'm pretty sure that "screwdriver" is not the right sign.

Go by 1.44 and you will see the sign for screwed.

Another one: Hello Seekies: I Screwed Up!|seekgeo|DeafVIDEO.TV

Go by 0.24

The sign is also used for "f***ed up".

f'ed up - is that the one where he slammed 2 hands with 3-fingers at each other?

screwed up - is that the one where he flicked middle fingers?

lol... accompanying drink and music optional? Though I supposed the person, who is screwed (as in unlucky), probably could use one.

f'ed up - yes
screwed up - no... I think it was the one that looks like "mess" turned upside down.

Bottesini and Jiro - because it looks hilarious - but my giggle emoticon didn't show up nor the wink.
