sign language

"It is a big deal to [the] deaf community that Starbucks has one now. We all want to have that at every drive thru in the world."
"The sorority girl came up to me afterward and said, 'We're not paying you.'"
Many hearing people are surprised to learn that the deaf community has it's own unique naming system. The only true way to get a name sign is to be given one by individuals who are deaf, since ASL is their native language.
It was so interesting to see what this other culture did to express the same taboo concepts, to see how we were united in that, hearing and deaf alike, we all thought about these unmentionable things and put names to them.
