Like anyone else, deaf people can totally swear as much as they like – they just do it in a discreet way. YouTube channel Cut shows us how deaf people sign bad words in a video in which 7 deaf people say all different curse words in American Sign Language, and we’re sure you’re going to use these someday.
However, we have to warn you that some of these unpretty terms involve very straight-forward hand charades that would be inappropriate to use in public. Others, however, are more subtle, and could be mistake for a variety of meanings. Finally, some involve manually spelling out the word using alphabetical signs, deciphering it completely to the untrained eye. It’s basically the most useful piece of education you’re likely to get today (unless you feel like checking out more Cut content).
Watch the video for yourself below, and don’t worry – we already know you’re going to try them all in front of your computer screen. Just make sure any deaf family members have left the room first.
