The only ASL "word" I know is one forearm across the
chest and on top of the opposite forearm, with the top
hand forming two horns and the lower hand waving downwards.

I am told this means "bullshit", and is useful to use
around ASL-ignorant prissy-britches.

As my hearing gets worse, I really should learn more ASL,
but for now ASCII suffices,
