BAIL: The
American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "bail"
There is not a widely established common sign for "bail" (as in the fee paid
to a bail company for insurance of your return to court).
However it is fairly common to see the term "bail" fingerspelled:
fs-BAIL
I am not comfortable with a certain online dictionary's listing the
EXCUSE sign as a sign for "bail."
EXCUSE is too closely associated with "waive / release / excuse / excused /
dismissed / forego" (and similar concepts) and doesn't belong in a low-context
entry for "bail."
