Hey! That was supposed to be a toughie. Ever thought of becoming an interpreter?

You're right. Want your turn or another one?

Go for it. I'm on my BB now, sneaking a peak at AD. ;)
 
This three-word idiom means, “I’m making a special effort to listen to you.”

1. Touch the thumb side of the "i" hand to your chest.

2. Put open right hand on open left hand in front of you, then lift the right hand to encircle over the top, around, and under the left hand back to the original position, as in “encompass” or “gathering.”

3. Point to those flaps of skin over vartilage at the sides of your head (that for the most of us at AD don’t work).

Bear is the winner by two minutes. (Sorry I misspelled cartilage). Have a go at your own idiom, Bear.
 
Chase pls do it for me. I just wanted to guess once to see if I could get the game cause so many of these was like huh? And besides I wouldnt even know how or where to begin doing my own.

You guys are so good at this! Sorry for stepping in here, but had to see if I could get it :D or if Reba has one let her write it.

Moderator request

Could one of the mods help correct my mistake? I need the name of the game
in the subject line.

It should be:

SLIGHT OF HAND

thanks
 
Fredfram let me make sure I am understanding you correctly before taking action. I am so tired right now I could change it to Charades lol.

You want me to change the name of the game to Slight of Hand instead of Rename my game?

All I can figure is "true blue" for loyal, but I can't fit in the honeybee.
 
If my answer was wrong or incomplete, we'll get back to the idiom in question. Meanwhile, till Cathe returns, here's a quick and easy one:


This one-word idiom means a new car which doesn’t run well.

The two-part sign is the “Y” hand twisting on the wrist, then bring the right index to the lips and make a face for an unpleasant taste.

lemon!

And The other one was "Be True Blue" It was supposed to be a phonetic joke,
like a Deaf teacher taught me 20 years ago with the joke, "over the week end"
where you walk your fingers over the top of your head because that is supposed to be your "weak" end not week end. So can anyone tell me if I copied that format correctly. Would "Bee True Blue" be funny for the same reason?
 
Good one. I was being too literal. Not a good thing with idioms, 'cause they're all figurative.

Lemon is correct. Have you got another?
