Today I learned a new sign. Vodka. Not all signs related to liquor have actual signs. Most liquor drinks are finger spelled. How do you sign vodka? Use your dominant hand, touch your thumb to your middle finger to make a flicking motion as if you are going to spin a coin on the table - do this motion to the side of your neck repeatedly.
The vodka sign came up in conversation as a health remedy. Apparently if you take one shot of vodka with a piece of hot cayenne pepper your sore throat will go away by morning. Now I have not tried this strategy and only recommend it those 21 years and older. If you are of drinking age let me know if this works the next time you have a sore throat and use this interesting medicine technique.
If you know a website that illustrates how to sign, that would be super helpful to have as a link.

ReplyDeleteSigning Savvy site allows you to type in a word you would like to see signed. Some words have multiple ways to signs. This site shows the pointer finger repeatedly being touch to your neck rather than flicking the neck...check it out.
