Hello! I am in ASL 1 and recently came across a sign I don't know. It is signed by using a five-hand position (open palm) (dominant hand) and the thumb is tapped to the dominant side shoulder.

I'm new to this site and ASL in general so I apologize if my description was a little confusing. Thank you!

There are two signs that come to mind based on your description.  FINE, as in I'm fine.  People will use it to mean OK sometimes as well. As in saying, That's fine, or that's ok.  I"m fine or I'm ok. 

 

It can also mean FANCY if the hand is used in kind of a forward circular motion.

      Looking For Friendly Humans to give Feedback on ASL Dialogue Lines in a Video Game Project

      By ideamonster · Posted

      Hi everyone! My name is Zein, I'm hearing and are working with a few other people on a sci-fi action-platformer VR game that features a deaf main NPC that uses ASL to communicate with the player. The player can sometimes respond with single-word answers by picking up a word bubble that changes the hand shape and then making the corresponding gesture (e.g. pick up the fist for YES, then tilt the controller up and down) I am currently learning signing myself and I'm reaching out to communities to get feedback for authenticity and inclusion. I have some dialogue lines for the character but it would help a lot to get feedback, because I'm sure, a lot of lines / signs, are currently weird or out of place. I already got feedback from a discord community for the first line. I can share this here so you can get a better picture. Randy: Oh my God! There was an earthquake at the excavation site, and some sort of lightning storm. I'm not sure... are you okay? ASL: WOAH! Earthquake there mining place do-do. Loud lightning! Why no-idea. You alright you (eyebrows up)?   Here's me trying it myself but it will be hand-animated once it gets into the game.     Would anybody be intereseted/willing to give their input and feedback? I would share more of Randy's lines here to improve, fix, or correct them. It would be a great help!  Thank you for your time, Zein
