Eh, same old, same old.
Not much.
Shit if I know.
How you been?
How are you?
I’m feeling…
crappy.
stressed.
happy.
great!
pissed off.
Nice to meet you.
It’s all in the name
Saying someone’s name in sign language can be far more interesting than the way you’d write it. This is because there is no one way to say a name. For simple impersonal signs, use the first letter of the name and place it outward from the face (forehead for masculine, jaw for feminine).
However, more personal name signs tend to incorporate elements of the person’s appearance or personality. A guy named Sean who has attention deficit disorder may be an “S” bouncing on the opposite palm—translated as “Hyper-as-Shit Sean.”
What’s your name again?
