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 cabemcdd,

I believe the sign you are referring to is the sign for 'gay'.

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,

Yes, it is the sign for 'gay'.

Your friend was probably joking about with you, or wanting you to use the sign and maybe embarrass yourself. 🤔
