The correct sign in ASL is performed with both the pointer and pinkie finger being extended and thrusting the hand forward to signify "bullshit". It is, however, part of New Zealand Sign Language. The non-dominant hand mimics the "business end" with flapping fingers. Signed with both arms held out, elbows bent, and folded in front of the signer with the dominant forearm on top, the dominant hand mimics a pair of horns with the index and pinkie finger. A common misconception is the sign for "bullshit".Doing this sign with an "H" means " hell". Holding a d-handshape in front of the body with the index finger pointing somewhat forward and to the left and the palm pointing somewhat down, then shoving the hand quickly down and to the right in an arc as if condemning someone to hell signifies " damn" The sign properly ends pointing mostly down and off to the right a bit.The word "fuck" as in "fuck you" is signed by holding the middle finger towards someone and then pointing it at them.This sign is often confused for "gender". The diction is determined by nonmanual markers.
"Fuck" as a sexual connotation is signed by taking two v-shaped hands and tapping them twice (dominant hand on top) to emulate two people's legs.This sign creates the meaning of "piss off" by combining the sign for "penis/piss" and abbreviating "O-F-F" by using simply one "F". Touching the p-handshape middle finger to the nose tip then bringing it out to "F" (done with one hand) means " piss off".The sign for "bitch" is often confused for the English sign "be" or the sign "breakfast". " Bastard" can be produced by doing the same sign but locating it on the forehead. The thumb/index finger side of a b-handshape struck against the chin means " bitch" (contact point is the side of the index finger)."Dick" is a "d" handshape tapping the nose.More commonly, the back of the "B" hand brushes the cheek, twice. The hand passes below and to the side of the chin twice. "Whore," "slut," or "prostitute" is signed by waving an open hand on the side of the chin front to back (fingers cupped in a c form, but thumb out).A "loan sign" is when a fingerspelled word is modified to leave out letters, form a specific shape, or move in a specific direction to become an actual sign(1). Another common sign for "fuck" uses an "FK" abbreviation, signed with an f-handshape changing to a k-handshape, which is referred to as a "loan sign". Some linguists contend that when the middle finger is used directionally, and pointed at someone or something, it becomes a sign. In the 1980s, the myth was made that the b-handshape flipped under the chin was a sign of saying "Fuck you". The back of dominant open b- handshape flipped out under chin literally means "so what?" Using a middle finger as the 'classic' flipping of the bird has a different meaning.For example, the sign for " shit" when used to curse is different from the sign for "shit" when used to describe the bodily function or the fecal matter. As for the signs themselves, some signs do overlap, but they may also vary according to usage. In usage, signs to describe detailed sexual behavior are highly taboo due to their graphic nature. Within deaf culture, there is a distinction drawn between signs used to curse versus signs that are used to describe sexual acts.

Used to indicate that the person has knowledge concerning a matter, and that his advice is trustworthy - Take my advice, I know these things.(taps nose)īut I think, in view of the context, the protagonist of the story is tapping his nose to indicate that he knows what he's talking about, and he wants Dennis to trust him, and that he(the protagonist) has knowledge concerning this matter. Secret, that you keep to yourself - I would say that the tap on the side of the nose, or more commonly a double tap, indicates I am telling you a secret which you must notĪ move in charades, to let the team know they've guessed right Secrecy - But if they are tapping the side of their nose, that is more along the lines of: it's a secret.
