Idioms in ASL??

Wirelessly posted

Some ASL idioms I've ran into:

Kiss-fist - to really love something

Snot-throw - to really and snarkily not care about something

Hot-neck- to be a bit gaga over someone.

I like these cuz they are actually ASL idioms, not attempts to translate english idioms into ASL. Any others?

I have a funny story about a a Russian interpreter and a group of Americans talking to Russians. One of them said I'm tickled to the death. The Russian translation came out as scratch me till I die.
