 Hey, my name's Ty. Let's look at a sign language video from the Daily Moth. You should subscribe to this channel There are deaf news website and what I'm gonna do is my best to Translate literally the signs that are being said you'll be able to follow along with the English captions at the bottom of the video And what I'm doing is just trying to highlight some really cool stylistic choices that are being used by different people who speak Sign language or sign sign language. Anyway, so last Friday, right? I Saw or I noticed I was looking at Old Navy, right? Store they had on the internet, you know, basically Nothing dude. There was nothing there on that store T-shirts You know like baby stuff and Like basically anything you can wear or all the materials that you would you know wear or You know like nothing, dude. What was there or nothing was there with? Drawings of The V-shaped symbol or the double V-shaped symbol Hands I think he's saying signs there hand signs that look like this with Messages or words that said love One another yeah, it was said love one another over there So let me quick pause sir. So he's basically saying hey man I was looking at Old Navy. They didn't have any t-shirts like since last Friday. I didn't have any t-shirts baby clothes or any sort of like materials that had The hand shapes of these two things next to each other with the words that said love one another and the reason Why is because this means intercourse in sign language? Think of it as like two bunnies bouncing off of each other, right? Right, you know, I like how we say you know bunnies like multiply That's the representation by doing this and so Old Navy once upon a time Pretty pretty recently had a sign that had like a black Doing this which in my opinion is cute as hell and supportive, but of like, you know, love one another I feel it feels like one of those things that isn't like I entirely ironic. I'm not here to editorialize though Let's go back to Simon which though, but I feel like someone knew what that meant and tried to like sneak it under the rug Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway, let's just move forward. So love One another yeah, okay, so love everybody or one another. Yeah, yeah, yeah All right, so that oh by the way good stylistic choice So when I do that I like do like that if I mean like this like this is very emphatic But if I'm using it like in the sentence Structure sort of like as a conjunction sort of a way that works really well What he's saying is like that you know like this this this one thing at a time at is like that But that works like this. So he's just like that that that that that You'll see that a lot that HS hand sign specifically looks a lot like the sign for F you I Like how he goes like F you and then he's like that that that that that that that that so on so on and so on that's so great Okay, anyway that You know that blew up it went all over the place in deaf Messaging deaf internet messaging that blew up For deaf Internet messaging so deaf internet messages all over the place last week And I want to I want to highlight that again. So this means week week week Two weeks three weeks Last week is how we sing it last week is how we say it So let me just back up so you can see how he says last week Which I think is a really cool way of saying last week And I think internet messages is like social media and it says social media there cool Last week last week end of the week like end of the week the weekend last week anyway, so one person on Twitter This is the sign for Twitter It's like a bird tweeting so one person on Twitter that person told Me or told somebody told Who man, I'm gonna have to back up a little bit so so one person on Twitter She or her We'll call it a she she said that person told Was told who was by a worker and Worker at worker Old Navy. Yeah, that person was told Okay, what does that sentence mean? I think it means like that person was told on Twitter by another person who was An old Navy worker. Yeah, I think that's what they're saying Okay, so that person one person was on Twitter She said or that person was told by another person who worked at Old Navy and That person this person worked at Old Navy told the Daily Month, which is them That last Friday oh Friday morning last Friday morning that last or past Friday morning, right? That person the one who worked at Old Navy, man, they went through a whole bunch of stuff They got this Message they were told they were told this message or they got informed that They were PUL L PUL L They got the message that They would for everything that was there they would PUL L Gather up all the taboo stuff and put them away or plus put them away and Here's the classic all I asked my favorite version of all gather up all Gather up all Look how you shakes it like a dice roll gather up all I Know I've done this explosion so many times on this channel, but a l l all And then becomes more fancy all all all so that's what that sign means. It's all a l l all gather up all the Units gather up all the units that Have the the screwing sign Get them all up Put them away and that person who works At Old Navy She said, you know, everybody at top, you know at Old Navy The message that they're handing down specifically With reason No reason why none no reason why let me see let me make sure I understand that sentence All the people at Old Navy You know Informed specific Reason why no did not give a reason why did not give a reason why specifically About what they're doing. Oh, what's they're doing? But she knew That's a sassy way of being like but she knew she knew she knew like I know that though It's like I know that that's how you sign is like I know that it's like, do you know this? I was like, you know Like you sure you know this was like I know this I know this right so It's a sassy way of saying she knew and this is like what's going on. She knew what was going on I like that if it wasn't she it is a she okay good Okay, so Old Navy didn't give that person a specific reason about what they were doing this pulling down But this person she was like, uh-huh. Yeah, I know What's going on here? Because this person Has a co-worker a co-worker And that person showed That the sign That had the screwing message, you know that that That's the end of the sentence in in science are in English. It may doesn't see it seems like it hung itself But in ASL it's like she knew because her co-workers showed her right? That's how you would say that in English too. So how did they translate that in captions? She showed her the sign She showed her the sign that that that yeah She showed her the sign because she knew what was going on because her co-worker showed her the sign Yeah, that's exactly what's on it. These captions are so good So basically An old Navy made a weird t-shirt that deaf people thought was funny Then suddenly old Navy took down the shirts and they didn't really give a reason why they were just telling the employees Take them all down and the employee was like You didn't give us a reason why to do this But I know why because I have a co-worker who showed me why you guys do it. So I know what's going on Okay, so now She showed I will show you I will show you that's what he said I will ooh, it's very very fast. Let's see. Let's see Now I will yeah, so so now I so these are his signs slow and and paced out now I will show you two and the most like you'll say pictures, but we'll see But there's the will you see the will show the will show that very very quick will Let's see if we can pause the frame on that Anyway that that so Now I Look for the will there it is. Oh, oh comes up so fast. Do you see it? Do you see it? Did you see it? Okay? One more time now I will this is the hand that's doing the will sign and Then you'll translate directly into show. Yeah, or transition directly into show. So now I will show you Not show me but show you right one last time and then we'll move forward now I will show you show you to pictures pictures that Old Navy and he's spelling it out old Navy. Oh LD and a v y right It on the web on the internet store. I'll show you two pictures from old Navy's internet store the first picture the first picture right that Words the store can Give internet last week Earlier than available Last week pictures where those things where the clothes were available from last week and then the second picture that They were all taken down Freight light on last Friday and here you can see him right now going ahead and see him He has a very intense stare so here's that first picture where they're available and you can see them if you were searching for a love one another but now They skipping ahead just a little bit now when you type in love one another you get this where it says We couldn't find a match for one love one another. Please try another search so Looks like we go into an ad and we've already done this ad Translation so now we'll just go straight back into the main story man. What an intense stare anyway. I I Reached out I Reached out so it's not internet. This is internet by the way. It's not internet He's he's directing for like I'm reaching out. I'm reaching out to people. So I'm I'm reaching out to contact So make sense It's the it's a directional sign. So I reached out. Yeah, or sort of like I met I I met with someone I reached out with someone or I made a connection or I made a point with Either way, it's fine. So I Reached out Them GAP with the gap and an old Navy. Yeah, I reached out to gap an old Navy last Friday. Yeah And I was like, hey guys, what's going on and There's some signs and I sell that are not like Standard textbook signs and they're more like Come on. What are you talking about? What are you doing? Right? So like I reached out to GAP and I don't think he said and but He's but if he did is there's a pause old Navy and was like, what's going on, right? And they and that's how he's and that's basically how the signs are Are Translated in terms of like what they mean. So like it's not like every sign has a one direct word in English Sometimes there's gestures that mean a bunch of different things and I think they fall into the class of signs and sign language called Non-manual signs, which is sort of just like hey in the context of this, you know what I'm trying to say. So this is like You know what's going on. So this like I know I know like knowledge or I know But I know that I know that I know what's going on, right? It's like, you know what I know I'm saying more than I know what's going on You know, I mean like why are you even telling me that because I figured this out already That's like the context behind it. So like this this little what sign that it gives doesn't mean like what it's more of like Hey, man, what's going on? Tell me about the story dude. This is crazy, right? That's why there's so many words that with that just one sign. So like Old Navy and Last Friday look at the facials pretty good. I'm like, what's going on here? Like okay, so the facials have to convey the context of what sign to anyway And so they were like yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep or confirm. Yep. Yep. Yep. They Were done They've removed all that stuff They all of it. Oh They removed they removed all that stuff there They took it all down they took it all down It's probably the better way to say it and then he does this which is the old-school version of all or the textbook version of All so this is all and there's another way of saying all so he does both versions of it. That's cool He's chose to do the formal version of all when he's talking about how Old Navy is responding to this Request for information whereas when he's talking about just himself. He's like all of this stuff Got taken down but when I talked to Old Navy, they said all of it was taken down very professional And there's another sign here that he's doing for products Which is a very professional way of saying products or stuff because before in the earlier video He was like they took all the stuff down, right? And now he's saying Old Navy says they took all the products down So it's like he's speaking on behalf of these larger companies and a much more professional tone It was very which is a very cool stylistic difference in in signing okay, so all The products Products sometimes see products like this. You can see products the other way to product. I'm sorry. I was not paying attention products From the store Plus Internet Stuff or internet sites. Yeah websites internet sites Okay, so last week Those guys Came and said more or less said that the drawing The drawing of the two hands next to each other, you know that was intended To be peace that was supposed to be the peace sign or intended to be peace And with two hands it was supposed to be like this. That's what it should have been. That's what it should have been Let me back up. So They said or so they all try to say to us that the original intention was that This was supposed to be the peace sign and so with two hands it was supposed to be the peace sign That's what it should have been. That's what it should have been. That's what this sign means should could must ought to that's your your go-to Should have sign or could have sign or must have or intended to sign And so by doing this at the end of a sentence He's just like peace two hands with peace. That's what that's what they were saying It should have been that's what they were saying. It should have been that's a very interesting way to use that sign, right? Let's back up and do it one more time just real quick so It was supposed to be or it looked like double-hand peace. That's what it was supposed to be That's what it should have been but You know it ended up not hearing Back up button should have been but it It's done Now that they've heard or they hear Feedback, yeah, I'm not sure if I got the all the gist of that sentence. I'm sorry for going back guys Let me see if I can start this at the beginning Not the very very beginning but like that graphic Hmm of those two hands being put together The intention the intended was for peace like double-handed peace That's what it should have been but that that done now that we've heard or Now that is done now that we've heard feedback. I'm adding some extra words in here now Work on Verifying All of that stuff the process listings that we have Making sure That all Notice how he goes back to all again now that he's He's he's not doing the formal version. I think he's doing more of a summary Maybe I'm looking to more into it But anyway, he was like he was like all like rolling the dice at the beginning of the video like I got it all Right and now he's doing the formal all when it's like my old Navy and now he does this open for it all When he's still, you know, I think winding back to his normal cadence, but anyway making sure That all Graphics With hands or hands should be checked checked Doubted doubted or verified vetted that counts to by working or Or Consultants, okay, so we'll do a quick breakdown of the sentence from the deaf community Yeah, consultants are from the deaf community moving forward to avoid Again saying again UN Intended unintended meaning Nothing else I can say I don't know how to translate that Okay, yeah unintended meanings blah, so we'll go again from the From let's just do it again from the V's. All right, so So now that they've heard Feedback feedback by the way is like this is like this feedback because FB FB right feedback FB feedback feedback feedback So double feedback on top of each other feedback feedback. That's why you have that so feedback feedback now now Working now they're working on You know looking at everything Or checking everything that they got the process that they have The listings for the things that they're selling on the sites. They want to make sure Make sure make sure that all the graphics that they have right with hands you know hands should You know be looked at looked at vetted verified vetted from workers or I'm sorry or or Consultants let me pause at consultants consulting to consult someone is like this. Hey consult consult Consult, how do you say consult an ASL? It's like this is like hey I'm tapping your hand to tell you what you got to do consult right or I need help And so he's doing consult like this with a C just to emphasize that it's not consult and in the general Like hey, I need your attention sort of way. It's more of like consulting person. So it's an employee Work-work person, but he's saying a Worker right so like an employee would be like boom boom a working person, right? But he's saying like a worker a shorthand for an employee, right? I think they say employee in the in the in the captions, but he's not saying work person He's just saying like worker as a shorthand. So working or a consultant so an employee or a consultant From the deaf community, right moving forward to avoid To avoid is like this to avoid and he already has his hand out from moving forward So this hand this hand is already sort of dedicated to the moving forward sign and he's saying avoid to avoid So normally if you're just saying avoided look like avoid right, but he's already committed to the moving forward and to avoid the signs are sort of Fusing together in really interesting ways is what I'm trying to say and so you know how in English You have contractions. It's like hey, do you want to go to the store today? It's like what does want to mean? What is do you want to like do you want to what does that mean? It's like do you want to go to the store? It's like speak clearly do you want to go to the store today? That's how you would probably say it if you're reading it from like a textbook or like someone way back in the 1950s But now we sort of just meshed words together in very interesting ways that are characteristics Characteristic of the communities that we come from and represent and so a lot of the signs that he's using especially with like the different forms of all right and Like the signs that he's combining together to say some interesting things like hey moving forward to avoid XYZ The way how he's signing sometimes where he has like his hand pointing that sometimes where he'll he'll change his dominant hands You know like hand signs sometimes he's a shorthand to say things sometimes he'll combine old with finger spelling, right? Right like he will use a lot of different mix of the tools of ASL and how he's choosing the Tools and when he's choosing the tools dictates sort of like his particular accent and I think that's very cool It's very very cool. So so what else is he saying deaf community? to avoid from doing it again on intended meanings Yeah Not so without a doubt the he's gone from you know Just how I talk to how old babies is is saying what they're saying in their press message to kind of going back to how he normally talks to Jeff I'm back to regular me. That's it. Anyway, I love it Okay, and that's it. So you several so several deaf people on Twitter them you know seven few deaf people on Twitter, yeah, I got that right. Okay They they I like how he says like them as a group pointing out to them Whereas sometimes I would I would option for something like this it's like so like a few Death he says that the way I say that that lady on the other hand goes deaf like this deaf people on Twitter or you can even say so like a few Twitter users people They but he goes like they they were all A lot of different ways to do this Twitter they We're all like, okay, huh? Wow, okay, they took it down now Those guys those clothes That were taboo there that were there now They want all of them. They want to gather them all up R-A-R-E they're rare Culture cultural a R-T-I-F-A-C-T artifacts They're not cultural artifacts rare cultural artifacts. I Want a shirt. I want a shirt that says Anyway, that's the end of the video. I hope you guys had a good time Okay, so like I said three minute video 30 minute translation. That's not bad for me I'll probably post more of these in the future The main take away from this is a lot of different ways to sign and I think that's a very interesting thing and Signing is very much like English or even like music where it's like you have different potential ways of expressing yourself and It's the notes that you choose and the notes that you don't hit sort of like the The colors that you decide to use the palette that you have an option to pick or not pick that dictate how you Choose to express yourself and in that shows a reflection of the community that you came from and that's something that we should take with us when Whether we're listening to someone talk or hearing someone sing or watching someone sign that they are very much products of the environment that they are from when that Infuses the way how they communicate and it should be something that you should be aware of about you communicate And so what we really are are just people Representing, you know our upbringing the the places we're born at the friends that we have When we communicate with each other and the more and the benefit of this is the more people we communicate with the more Worldly our ability to communicate with people becomes and that means we can make better connections with people Regardless if we don't necessarily agree on the same things We can just by virtue of the fact that we've gone out and talk to people You know, I know with COVID it's that the big deal But like we used to do that and we will do it'll do that again But if I can find a connection with someone because we have you know a similar shared interest or a similar upbringing in some capacity that makes the the communication beyond words easier and so What better way to show communication beyond words then with these deaf channels and the and the fact that even the people who sign Do so in different ways, and I think that's just a beautiful thing. All right That's enough. I'll do more of these in the future along with some My waxing poetic at the end I just think communication is an interesting thing it's a bizarrely bizarrely beautiful thing that we're capable of doing and What greater opportunity than we have now as human beings who can understand this and to just sit back and appreciate the fact that we Can't talk to each other about anything and isn't that a wonderful thing? Let's go chat sometime. See you guys
