I’m Dr. Velvet Fingers, Chief Linguist at Gollyudeaf University. I’m thrilled to announce that we’ve teamed up with… God. Yes, that God. To create a brand-new, official ASL name sign. This was a long, harrowing journey— Eight months of linguistic research, International community feedback, And… accidentally starting a religious war. We consulted Catholics, Baptists, Orthodox Jews, Evangelicals, Several witches, two Mormon Deaf elders, A Satanist in Ohio, And one guy on TikTok who insists he is God. [Pause.] With the world on fire… I couldn’t help but wonder: Is this really the best way to spend our time and power? Anyway! Ready for the sign? [Points upward.] [Beat.] That’s it. That’s the sign. We call it… “God.” Because he’s up there. Apparently. Thanks for believing in the process. [Looks off-camera.] Can I get a Coke? [Screen cuts to black-and-white logo: “Gollyudeaf University x God™”]".
This is how you sign Hello in ASL!

Tein aiemmion kyselyn tästä emojista/käsimerkistä (🤟).
Halusin nähdä kuinka ihmiset tulkitsevat tai tietävät ennestään kyseisen käsimerkin tarkoituksen. Äänestystuloksen perusteella 14% äänestäjistä tiesi käsimerkin alkuperäisen merkityksen.
Kyseessä on hyvin vanha käsimerkki. Merkin tarkoitus on ilmaista "I love you" tai "love you". Sanojen ensimmäiset alkukirjaimet sormitetaan samanaikaisesti sormiaakkosina eli I, L ja Y.
Käsimerkin historia on pitkä, se ulottuu 1900-luvun tienoolle ja on tullut alkujaan amerikkalaisesta viittomakielestä. Kyseinen käsimerkki on levinnyt viime vuosikymmeninä sosiaalisen median kautta laajasti yleiseen käyttöön ympäri maailmaa. Tätä käytetään myös täällä meillä Suomessakin viittomakielisten kesken.

JFC. American Sign Language is a fucking LANGUAGE. Clue's in the name. I'm so angry.
Any jackass who calls it "wild human gesticulation" is welcome to (go fuck themselves and) learn it themselves. Clearly it's just wiggling around or whatever, right?
Must be easy! Must be quick! Must not be exhausting, precise, and impressive as fuck, actually.
