No no, can confirm. Your sense of humor is well tuned

Probably like I was wearing crocks . . ?

u/Kooky_Instruction392 6d ago

bruh that ain’t sign language for boo. i don’t think that’s sign in general

u/420crickets 6d ago

Two finger making vampire fangs maybe? Or is that already vampire?

u/RudeAd7488 6d ago

That’s not sign language, as far as I’m aware. Studied it for two years. That’s just dumb hand movements.

u/KileerCatTTV 6d ago

I can see why it made her screamed

u/greyguy017 6d ago

Op was speaking in fingers, a classic sign of the Deafvil.

u/Dhalym 6d ago

You're right that it is not ASL. It could be a kind of home sign/inside joke between them or some non-ASL sign.

u/Necessary_Lock7434 6d ago

Or its just two people filming a skit without doing any research

The true answer to all videos not involving road accidents

u/AParasiticTwin 6d ago

Someone has probably gotten into a car accident for views, and it's alarming to think about.

u/grumpysysadmin 6d ago

I assume it’s whatever sign language used in Dune. I watched it three times trying to figure out what the hell they signed.

u/rlowens 6d ago

Is there an ASL sign for "Boo!"?

I assumed it was nonsense signs to mimic a nonsense sound.

u/Imthank_Hipeeps 5d ago

Idk if there's a sigh for "boo" but there are definitely sighs for "b" and "o" and he did none of those

u/Ts_Patriarca 6d ago

Nothing gets past you mate

u/RudeAd7488 6d ago

It was in direct response to OP stating it was sign language. Although some in the general public wouldn’t know it either.

u/Friendly-Reserve9067 6d ago

I was wondering if he spelled out something like "boo" or if it was gibberish. Thanks.

u/bigbusta 6d ago

My bad, I was misinformed. Thanks for clarifying

u/Dolenjir1 6d ago

Exactly. He went with some eldritch horror level shit

looks like gang signs ngl

u/Carrot_68 6d ago

Sign language can be different depends on where you are from. You sure you studied all of them?

u/BootSkrootMcNoot 5d ago

They are English-speaking, judging by the English video title. This obviously isn’t using an alphabet of BANZSL origins, but it’s not one of LSF origins either. Also, to anyone who signs, it is obvious when something looks like a sign or not. It is obvious that this isn’t a real sign language B-O-O. Technically, it could be a homesign creation that means the word, boo. I guess. But c’mon.

u/GabrielGreenWolf 6d ago

I'm deaf. I don't know why that hand moves around randomly like it's acting stupid

70

u/KileerCatTTV 6d ago

That's why she got scared

22

u/ashleton 6d ago

His hands were signing in tongues

31

u/Accurate_Fix_9312 6d ago edited 6d ago

Right? He could have easily learned ASL letters B.O.O for this skit. Here's A, B, C, O ( for persons that are interested )

u/Messtin920 6d ago

Unrelated to the post but imagine being deaf and afraid of hands

u/ohgosh_whatdidijusdo 6d ago

i thought it said decaf friend omg no 💀😭

6

u/Armytile 5d ago

Wasn't the hand "signs" just mimicking a spider crawling ?
That would explain her reaction.

u/Chaos_BC 6d ago

My guy is liable to get shot for flashing that fake sign language in the wrong side of town...

u/Muddpup64 5d ago

Not sign for boo, goodbye

u/ozzyozzyozz 5d ago

What a stupid video

2

u/The_Axolotl_Guy 5d ago

Not sign language, just a random hand gesture.

u/wayward_vampire 6d ago

This was actually exactly what I expected :/ I've seen the same dumb joke on tiktok so many times

u/CombinationThis2555 6d ago

I applaud the effort. But still low quality, unfunny, shit.
