A video response to Kristen's Dirty Signs video of "Your Mother is a Filthy Whore"
Please note that I AM a sign language interpreter, and that this is an interpretation, That being said, every interpretation is different; this is just one way to say the above phrase in ASL.
[A quick note on interpretation vs. translation: Translation implies written text being translated from one written language to another. Since ASL has no written form (English is not the written form of ASL), it cannot be translated; hence ASL is always being interpreted.]
If you're interested in knowing more about ASL, Deaf culture, or how to become an interpreter, message me and I can give you information for further research!
If one were playing the dozens, then Kristen's facial expression would be correct.

@pghpaisan Very true. But we all have to remember that facial expression is an integral part of the linguistics of ASL :) Unless of course, you're playing The Dozens.
