ASL Series 2 Lesson 6: Food: Meats

Signs
 Description of Sign Action


beef (SE)
 		Signed English sign for beef follows the same procedure for meat, making the "B" sign with the left hand.
chicken
 		Place a right "g" hand at the mouth (this is the sign for "bird). Then place tips of the "g" hand into the upturned palm of the left hand. Note: It is the second half of the sign that makes the sign specific to "chicken," as a chicken is a bird that pecks.
fish
A waving right hand leads the left slightly as it swims along.
hamburger
 		Shape an imaginary hamburger patty in your hand. First right hand on top then left hand on top.
hot dog
 		Squeeze hands with each move outward as if you are shaping each individual link
meat
 		Hold the left hand slightly in front of the body, fingers together and thumb spread. Using the index finger and thumb of the right hand, gently pinch the fleshy portion of skin between the thumb and index finger of the left hand. Memory aid: This area is often called the "meaty" portion of the hand.
pork (SE)
 Signed English sign for pork follows the same procedure for meat, making the "P" sign with the left hand.
sandwich
 		Make a "C" with the left hand, palm facing right and slightly tilted upward. Place a stiff right hand (fingers together) in the curve of the left "C" hand, right pinky finger touching the meaty tissue between the left thumb and index finger.
turkey
 		Touch a right "q" hand to the chin.
