Learning the Dude Sign Language

The Dude really prefers the signs he has worked out to communicate, rather than using ASL. We have tried to get him to use ASL to no avail. So here is a lexicon to convert Goobear Sign Language (GSL) to English.

Sign

Means

I, me


See, saw; sometimes remember

God; sometimes space (pointing straight up)

Hell, the devil (pointing to the ground)

 [[NEED]]

Movie

Bed, sleep, lay down (right hand only)

 


Home Alone (tries to get both hands up to face like Kevin when he yells after applying aftershave)

Star Wars, Luke Skywalker (index and pinky pointing forward to imitate X-wing flyer)

Looks like (swipes hand down face)
