Worst Mistakes I’ve Seen in ASL

[soup]

Oh no-
Honestly I didn't know I was signing "f*ck you" instead of "thank you" until like three months ago.

My favorite: a friend tried to sign to her mom 'bug' cause she freaked out over a bug, but apparently it looked like.... Ōrgâsm. Mother was like, "ExCuse me WHAT?" The funniest exchange I've ever seen. We both learned a sign that day.

In one of my first ASL classes I tried to sign “nice to meet you, ” my teacher laughed for a bit then showed the difference between the sign for “meet” and the sign for “fuck.” I had signed the latter..

I am a victim of the ‘hungry’ vs ‘h0rny’ one 😭

I was trying to sign to my deaf nephew “You seem very hungry”

My aunt had to correct me later on… 💀

[flaxyus]

The fact that I could hear the tired and disappointed tone in gestures in ASL😭 the last one is truly savage

[RJxRuby]

one of the worst mistakes is when someone says "f- you'' instead of "thank you" and i just smile and nod :)

Omg, the hungry-horny thing was one of the first things my ASL teacher taught us, lol. Like first day.😂

[bonesandchains]

"im really hungry, ill meet you at the pizza place early" could go VERY VERY wrong 😂

[jadlad]

In my intro to ASL class we were all accidentally signing "bitch" instead of "talk" 💀 my poor professor had to quickly go NO NO NO NOT THAT

My friend was trying to sign thankyou to her deaf coworker and I had her show me and she’s been saying f*ck you while mouthing thankyou the entire time. She was mortified when she found out but her deaf coworker thought it was hilarious.

Imagine someone talking to you with them mistakes “I’m so hungry right now, I think I’m gonna go home early and eat some pizza”
💀💀

[RandomPerson]

I remember in class, being taught how to sign "thank you" and half the class was signing "fuck you" and the professor just needing a moment xD

My favorites from learning ASL and my own mess ups:
1. Signing “vomit” instead of “grandmother” in ASL 1 and accidentally signing “My vomit is awesome I love it.”
2. Signing “nude” instead of “early” and accidentally asking my teacher: “Do you mind if I’m nude every other Thursday.”
FML 💀💀💀

[ClodsireBcuzYes]

Dude- you would think the inappropriate ones would be more complicated-

[PlaylistsWhatAboutEm]

A friend I was taking an ASL class with accidentally asked me "are you sleeping with anyone?" instead of "are you dating anyone?" while we were practicing. I couldn't stop laughing

[ClarieC]

I had an English teacher at my school for hearing impaired in Germany. And he told us about the one time he went to the US to another school for hearing impaired and even tried to pick up some ASL (GSL and ASL are different after all) but he accidentally signed “F*ck you” to an entire room of deaf kids. He thought he was saying good morning/good day… 😂

Oh, the pizza one. My ASL teacher had a whole thing about being careful not to order a prostitute with pepperoni.

[STORMFANGSL]

Worst one I’ve seen was someone trying to say “f off” instead they asked if they wanted to go scissor.

[The.Mountain.Flower]

A family member excitedly said their kid was "dying" soon. They meant to say they were getting "baptized".

[southernbelle]

A girl I knew signed "birthed potatoes" instead of "baked potatoes" 🤣
