View sign 'bad'
bad
|
Description(meaning: suddenly thrown away) Hold right fist near breast. Throw it out and down to right, and while doing so open the hand, terminating the movement with the fingers extended and separated. References: abandon Synonyms: detestable, mean, vile, wrong |
NotesThis sign can also be done using both hands. The difference between this and ABANDON, both having the same conception (thrown away), is that ABANDON the hands are carried to left and rear before being opened, indicating retention or possession for a time; while in the sign for BAD it is instantly thrown away, the moving being similar to what would naturally follow if one were to pick up what was supposed to be a rope and it should prove to be a snake. |
