Refrigerator:  Version 1
Spell:  R-E-F

 

Refrigerator:
Some people are likely to say that this version is not an ASL sign--that it is "signed English."
Whatever. I don't think so. Many of the youth use this sign and when all the old farts die off, this sign will live on.
Just because a sign has an "English" letter in it doesn't mean it is "signed English."  But many teachers are inflexible about it, so do it their way until you get your grade.
Form "R" hands and then do a "shivering" motion of the forearms. It is an initialized version of the sign "COLD."



Another way to sign this is to use an initialized version of the sign for "door." Use "R" hands instead of "flat hands."
