Sign Language

Just wanted everyone to know what 'slow down' is in west virginia hand motions...
  1. Put one hand out, palm down, but keep your hand close to shoulder with your elbow down.
  2. Wave your hand up and down like it's a fan, or a flopping fish.
  3. Go stand in the road and do that motion, and cars will slow down for you. Some might even stop to talk to you.

I probably wouldn't slow down for you, though. I might think you were trying to hitch hike but couldn't quite figure out the thumb thing. I don't speak west virginian very well yet.
