Signs that are not in the dictionarys

[cool scary guy]

I'm late hoh and having to learn ASL after i turned 30 , but I've hit a snag, I keep finding words that are so common that i know there has to be a sign for them . But they are not in any of the dictionarys. So, does any one know of another place to look ?

mini skirt, harry potter, platform boots,

For mini skirt and platform boots wouldn't use just sign "skirt, short" or something similar? No clue on Harry Potter, I spell that and then abbreviate HP if we continue to discuss it.

Miniskirt, I'd sign skirt and demonstrate that it was short. Platform boots, I'd spell platform and sign boots. Then for Harry Potter, I've seen a sign name for him before, but I don't know how common that is. The sign name I've seen was HP done on the chest by the heart, probably to symbolize the badge on the cloak, I suppose.
