Hi all!

I have been on and off learning BSL for a few years as I've too much on to fully commit so I'm a complete beginner! While I remember most of what I learned, my friend did this sign to me last weekend while we were at a wedding and I don't know what it means. Can anyone help out?

It won't let me attach the video as it is MP4, but it is the help for sign, except moving your thumb as well. So closed fist with thumb sticking up lying on outstretched palm. Move thumb from side to side.

I can't find it anywhere on the net and it's really annoying me because I recognise it so any help would be much appreciated!

 

P.S Sorry in advance if this was my friend being funny and is actually a swear or rude word.

Hi Cassie,

Thank you so much for that. No matter what I searched for nothing was coming up!

He was totally being funny because I was leaning on my partner.

Thanks again,

    • Hello both.  I’m also happy to practise some BSL, as with anyone on the site. Feel free to send me a message!
    • Hi there. If you're still looking for a signing buddy, please send me a message as I'd be happy to help in practising some BSL.
    • that's interesting.
    • Hi guys. I'm new here too
    • Hello. I am learning sign language for my DofE award and am currently enjoying it. I am keen to learn it and personally think I am learning it quite well. There is  deaf community centre near me so after I have nailed BSL i intend on visiting and interpreting for my local park run as a volunteer
    • I am learning BSL because I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community. Even though I am deaf and use a cochlear implant, I grew up using spoken language, so I never fully learned sign language. Over time, I started to feel left out in Deaf spaces where people communicate through BSL. Learning BSL feels important to me not just for communication, but for belonging. I want to be able to express myself freely, understand others and be part of conversations without barriers. It is also important for my work, as I support people with different needs, and I want to provide more inclusive and accessible support in the future.
    • Hi everyone, My name is Devanshi and I’m currently living in Nottingham. I work as a support worker and I’m really passionate about inclusion and supporting people with different needs. I am deaf and use a cochlear implant. I was not born deaf, my speech developed as I was growing up, so I have mainly communicated using spoken language. However, over time I started to feel a bit excluded in Deaf spaces, as many people communicate through BSL and I wasn’t confident in it. That’s one of the main reasons I decided to start learning British Sign Language. I want to feel more connected to the Deaf community, communicate better and be part of conversations without feeling left out. I also hope it will help me support others better in my work and future career. I’m currently learning at a basic level, so I’m still very new — but I’m excited to learn and improve 😊 Looking forward to connecting with you all!
    • Hi! I'm Kay and i've decided to learn BSL as i have always found it interesting and find it a way to make others feel included 😁 it's also a great way to spend my evening as i am learning something new everyday!
