American Sign Language: "bag"


BAG:
Most of the time the concept of "bag" is going to just be spelled: "B-A-G." Spelling "bag" is actually faster than doing a sign for it.
At high speed the "A" gets morphed a bit and the spelling just looks like a "sign."

Fine. If you feel like looking silly here it is:

BAG:

Now don't show up in your local ASL class or at a Deaf event and say, Dr. Bill says this is the sign for "bag."
Nope. I didn't tell you to sign that.  I told you to spell it.
