In a message dated June 7, 5:47:35 PM Pacific Daylight Time, leah_____@______.com writes:My name is Leah L_____ and I've recently been told that in my never-ending learning of ASL the one thing I didn't think about was the "bad words". I'm a Christian and that wasn't something I thought I'd ever need to know. But I was told that I would need to learn the bad words for two reasons: First so that I understand if and when someone ever says something not so nice to me, but more important so that I don't accidentally sign something or teach my kids a sign that's not quite right.
I've already had that happen. My kids were trying to let me know they were starving (they're 12 and 14, they're always "starving" :) ) and did the hungry sign two or three times in a row. I was told that actually they were signing horny. I know I turned all shades of red because I realized they've been doing this for a while at church and everywhere else in public you could think of.
My question in all this is, is there a book or video or something that I can get to teach me the dirty words in ASL? I've tried the internet and I keep running into articles. I've been looking for about 3 weeks now. If you can PLEASE HELP! :) I never thought I'd be asking someone to teach me how to talk bad. :)
Thank you for any help you can give me!!!
Thanks for your time,
Leah L_____
Leah,
I understand completely and I applaud you for going the extra-mile in your ASL
studies.
For those who need to learn these types of signs I've developed a Sex & Swear
Signs CD.
It is a work in progress, but I think you will find it useful for
your purposes.
Cordially,
Dr. Bill Vicars
My question, Dr. Vicars, is how many signs are on this CD? Like Leah, my vocabulary is pretty good, but I don't know these "sex and swearing" signs as you put it. I was just wondering how many signs were on this CD. If you could let me know, I'd be very thankful.Thank You,Jason.
Hi Jason,
There are about 75 concepts covered on that CD.
I sent you a list of the words in a separate email.
If you have other concepts you want to know,
please feel free to ask.
Cordially,
Dr. Bill
