[QUOTE="Reba, post: 314236, member: 2396"] These are the sign versions I have seen: 1. truck: (SC signers) bent 5-hand, palm up, repeated stroke under chin (like HAY); or English signers use "T" CAR sign. 2. chocolate: (SC signers) "C" at dominant side of chin, similar to SWEET; (non-SC signer) dominant "C" hand circles back surface of flat hand, palm down. 3. computer: dominant "C" hand repeats on lower arm similar to IMPROVE but in a more circular short motion. 4. chicken: (SC signers) dominant "3" hand taps the side of the chin; "rooster" (and Carolina Game Cock for USC) is dominant "3" hand taps the middle of the forehead (showing the rooster's comb). Other signers use BIRD sign. 5. plastic: (SC signers) spell; other signer uses GLASS sign tapping upper lip. 6. rubber: (SC signers) use sign similar to SEX. other signer uses GLASS sign tapping below lower lip. 7. ministry: (SC church members) sometimes "M" SERVICE, sometimes "M" CHURCH. 8. Navy: (SC signers) "N" SALUTE; other signer "N", left hip, to right hip, to front right thigh (indicating the 13-button trouser flap on the uniform) 9. white person: My SC teacher showed me PEACH for Caucasion person, and WHITE thrown-on-the-face for PALE; but I have seen most Deaf here use WHITE, usually added to BOY, GIRL, MAN, WOMAN, PERSON, etc. [/QUOTE]
