[@sarahperry8013]

Yes please!

[@LearnHowtoSign]

These are ASL signs that represent English slang words used in America. If you want a video where I teach you ASL slang signs unique to American Sign Language, let me know in the comments! 🤟🤟🤟

[@ChristyPentzien-t1z]

High school teacher here and I LOVE this; thank you, Meredith! (Looking forward to idioms, too.) 😁

[@LearnHowtoSign]

This was a fun one!

[@Passion84GodAlways]

Yes, I'd definitely love to see an ASL Slang video! 🤩

[@lydwinaofschiedam2685]

Great video. I’m a HOH senior adult, so I learned a couple of new English slang words along with their ASL interpretations. Thanks!

[@gardeniagirl1374]

VIDEO HILARIOUS! I have teens in my life, so this video is timely! Please create a part 2 video, and if / when you do that, then please include WHATEVER (the sassy whatever made with 2 tilted Ls) and GIRL (aka GIRRRRL much slower on the jawbone than regular)! This video made me laugh hard! I think it just might be my favorite one! 🎉

[@sweetpea_____]

1:15 lol is so smooth and I love it

[@mikemanjo2458]

Yes, please. I know there are some deaf slang signs that I don't understand. I love this series! You're amazing!!!!❤🙏 Jane in SC

[@verarubio5673]

I love this!!! , can we have a part two!!! Your videos are fun , Thank you .

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Thank you 🥰

[@JulianTruant]

😂 I have an Aunt Karen too, but she is totally the stereotype "I want to speak with your manager!" kind of Karen.

[@jcortes2148]

So very helpful! Thank you!

[@AwakenedCherokee6157]

Im right handed but i naturally want to use my left hand to do the motions. Should i try to correct it with my right hand or continue with my left hand?

[@darronmoore9177]

Good morning and thank you so much for the asl. Greatly appreciated...

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Our pleasure!

[@lauramdick]

I would love to see a video of ASL slang signs! I really enjoyed this video too. Thank you!

[@joaniedougherty4237]

A video on ASL slang as a followup to this one would be great, thx 😊

[@LearnHowtoSign]

We'd love to make one!

[@katiebrandt9844]

I loved this! I work in a middle school. Yes, an ASL slang video would be fun!

[@tinameckley1250]

Would love to learn more. Thank you for all your videos❤

[@LearnHowtoSign]

You are so welcome!

[@Passion84GodAlways]

Fascinating! Love to see how some AAVE gets translated into ASL! 😀

[@harrisre-nee3017]

Girl! It's mind-boggling, really lol!🤯 Even though I'm Black, I prob won't use these signs, tbh, BUT I'm eagerly awaiting ASL slang!🤭

[@Passion84GodAlways]

@@harrisre-nee3017 - There's also BASL (like the interpreter used at last year's Superbowl with Rihanna) so that's another language I wish to learn & explore! 🍫🤓

[@harrisre-nee3017]

@@Passion84GodAlways WOW! 🤯🤯🤯 I never knew that was an option lol, but it makes sense!😅 I definitely gotta get into it! 🤩 (I noticed how a lot of AAVE gets mislabeled as "slang", too, but they are not synonymous; Black American English has its own rules and is not as "random" as many people who don't speak it may think.)🗣️ Thank you so much!😍🫶🏿💃🏿💐

[@Passion84GodAlways]

@@harrisre-nee3017 EXACTLY!!! Our culture is so rich, diverse, and BEAUTIFUL! 💎✨ 'Twas my pleasure! 🤗🥰

[@v9891]

pls make more of these, these r so fun to learn

[@erflingnot]

G.O.A.T! That’s you and this instructional video👑👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@genawakefield9229]

Yes! ASL slang signs would be awesome!

[@grammytammy3535]

Absolutely!! Another one like this would be great!! Thx, Meredith!! 👍👍

[@LearnHowtoSign]

I'll have to do some serious digging. My slang vocabulary is very limited 🤣

[@themakingsofavillain669]

Yes! I want an asl slang sign video!

[@ryancarman7720]

I've always signed cool or neat with the dominant hand flat, thumb to the chest and wiggling the fingers back and forth... Similar to "groovy".

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Yes that is another way to sign COOL.

[@kristintourville948]

I would love to learn more ASL slang. I've learned the hot fingers slang from a friend, kinda blowing on your fingers while doing the sign for 'hot' like something was awesome. I know there's a lot I don't know yet!

[@coletteloudin8881]

pls do this again. great video

[@IDKwhattoputhere35]

I think its funny how you and aslmeredith both have the name “Meredith” AND you both teach asl

[@lydwinaofschiedam2685]

I would love for you to do an ASL slang video!

[@lorieguill0317]

I'd love to see more slang signs!

[@Whitney-Blake]

[@erflingnot]

Totally organic and natural ;-) thank you❤😂

[@GabrielaBallicora]

Yes, please!! More of this kind of videos (may be some bad words :) )

[@g.l.3124]

Love the sign for Champ! One of my faves and I like it better than the word goat.

[@georgekassab9936]

Yes, more please

[@sandraking3585]

I would love a video on ASL slang.

[@gen.luxe.offical]

lol i love this vid so much and here are some more slang words you should make a vid about! cap; fake/lie wyd; what are you doing? bussing; very cool idk; i dont know fr; for real/ i agree

[@rachaelclarke3076]

I actually guessed all of these correctly except I wasn't sure about "woke" I haven't interpreted or been in touch with the Deaf community for about 18 years 😬🤦‍♀️ Anyway, trying to refresh my memory and am super curious about ASL slang now. Things have changed so much in technology over the past 2 decades and of course language is ever evolving! Looking forward to the next video.

[@fullhg]

Can you please make a video for personalities pls

[@satellitefalling7397]

Pretty please! Love this!

[@NoewerrATall]

Yes, ASL slang/idioms, please!

[@CatJabZ]

Love it.

[@David-dc3nk]

Do one ASL video for places in the US.

[@lovinghands1944]

I would like to see some sign language idioms

[@Jenaserra13]

❤❤❤thanks ❤

[@karennevin3529]

i love karen jokes, references 😂😂😂

[@OBXDewey]

Funny how gossip looks like two hens talking/cackling. My chickens do that a lot. Probably talking about my goats or the blucky feed pellets. 😅

[@ShawnHumphrey]

Thank you Meredith! I was wondering - many years ago, I learned "cool" in the same position as fine (thumb on chest), open palm hand shape, but flat and fingers wiggling. Is that wrong, outdated, or possibly regional (Michigan)?

[@LearnHowtoSign]

Yes there are variations and that is one of them. Not wrong at all. ☺️

[@ShawnHumphrey]

Thank you for letting me know! Much appreciated.@@LearnHowtoSign

[@erflingnot]

You’re totally Gangster I love it😂

[@CarlsonKids-i8v]

nice

[@jengiolando4159]

Yes.

[@grumpydavid3839]

any more American slang videos? (for example: He aint all there! OR She's a couple cards short of a full deck) stuff like that

[@Milasvids-f2v]

plzzzz do a other one plz

[@hawghawg381]

I know you're the 🐐

[@bryanscottmills]

ASL slang please!!

[@TheSpiritracer]

ASL sign Pop Culture ( what I have seen doesn’t really fit. So I wondered if there’s something more specific.)

[@glendatrinidad7888]

yes ASL slang!

[@khf032863]

🔥🔥🔥 WORSHIP SINGING

[@alainanticoli5785]

In “spilling the tea”, tea stands for “truth” not gossip. This slang originated in the lgbt community.

[@DresdenDoll79]

Let's not dilute the important details here. "Spilling the tea" originated in BLACK DRAG CULTURE. Not just the lgbt community. Tea was specifically hidden truths. In other words, gossip. Specificity and nuance matter.

[@Whitney-Blake]

And yes…ASL Slang signs please.

[@erflingnot]

Yes, universal slang! I’ll be waiting🤌🏻🫴🏻🤲🏻

[@cez19]

Don't apologize for karens. They deserved that. The good ones are not the issue 😂

[@Umrani123-f4g]

Hi

[@anewabashir3377]

✌️✌️🤘🤘 (Peace and Rock on)

[@IzayahTrevor22q]

cooll video i have a youtube channel

[@wecreel]

thats not what sus meens it meens being wired

[@probnotking]

god i love y’all but no child says any of these anymore

[@Kkpakpo]

So I can say Disney is "Woke" cause it is. Thank you btw.

[@nathanrobinson1828]

Thank you. But I believe this should've been a deaf peer job. To explain that it's our culture. I understand you were trying to teach us or share, but again, no hearing people shouldn’t be doing this. Do you know that? It’s basically like you’re stealing our culture and job from us, FYI. Thanks

[@LouiseMcDoozler__62]

I didn't know being deaf was a job! How much do you get paid?

[@NothingToSeeHere1141]

If you prefer a deaf person teaching, Bill Vicars has a channel.

[@Mags_2011]

Sign language is a form of conversation not a culture and even then cultures are meant to be shared not gatekept.

[@FatHedgie]

Don’t be such a snowflake lol. Do you want hearing people to learn or not?

[@zuko_lockett19]

Maybe she made the video because your "pro culturally inclined face"failed to capitalize on the opportunity so next time worry less about her videos and more about the videos that you could be making if you were really concerned as you say you are🧐 'Don't play wit her!'
