I am trying to learn some ASL slang, but I don't know how to really use them or what they really mean. I was wondering if anyone could give examples of when to use them and/or what they mean.
PEH-PEH, MEH-MEH with THAT, FOR-FOR, and VEE-VEE. I understand KISS-FISH, SAY-NOTHING,TRAIN-GO, NOT-TRUE, MEH-MEH, WHAT-DO, TRUBIZ, PAH, FISH(FINISH), CHAMP, THAT, and WOAH.
Also if there's any other slang words that are commonly used what are they, and what do they mean?
Thank you for taking you...
