SignWriting List
October 28, 2001

Hello Ann and Nancy -
Thank you for your messages (see below)..

Regarding the "hip saying" or slang, that Ann asked for...I
personally don't know ASL that well, but maybe someone on the SW List
can help you?...

The saying is: "Hello, Dude!"....or something like that...something
"cool" in ASL that teenagers would use....

Val ;-)
