Can someone help me settle an ASL question/argument?
I’m going to preface this by saying I am hearing, but have been in college ASL classes for a couple of years now. Deaf professors. I am not fluent, but conversational.
Okay. So. We all know the 6-7 hand movements that have been going around for months.
I was talking to someone (hearing) and they asked me what that gesture could mean in ASL. I said it looks like either “maybe“ or someone making inappropriate gestures (ie: f0ndling someone’s b@lls or bre@sts). They didn’t believe me.
Again I am not fluent, but I could have SWORN I saw a video online of a deaf person claiming 6-7 looks like that inappropriate imagery. and now I’m look all over the internet and can’t find the dang video. (There is no way I’m asking this question to my professor.)
Am I actually crazy? Did I fabricate that? why would I make that up?!
Please help!
