{SPEAKER name="Audience member"}
Please.
{SPEAKER name="Jan DeLap/Shirley Schultz (interpreter)"}
Well, ah, maybe I'll show you example of a, a name sign that is similar to a real sign. In this case, N, Nixon, the real sign is lie. Lie.
[00:15:04]
And we take it with an N instead of the regular handshape. Nixon.
[00:15:09]
Oh yes, and also, Simon was saying that before Watergate his name sign was Nixon, because of the nose. After Watergate he became Nixon--
[00:15:25]
And the next president Ford we didn't have any, there's no name sign, really. The next one, president, guess who that is. Carter.
[00:15:40]
What is that the sign for? Why? Peanuts! That's, he's a peanut farmer, and the sign for peanut is that. Like that. And then we just take it with the C.
[00:15:57]
Yeah, we have different signs for that, nut. Let's see, what else. President today?
[00:16:05]
Reagan. Reagan, just do that. That's also the sign for Republican. So, Reagan. Some say uh, Reagan, from his movie days.
[00:16:23]
Oh yeah, some people say movies, that's movies, so R, Reagan, movie star, once a movie star. That's it.
[00:16:34]
Yeah Reagan with the guns. Many deaf invent their signs within their different groups or different towns, so there might be differences among signs, I'm glad you can share all of them.
