The sign for "angry"
is made by forming "claw" hands and placing your fingertips against your
stomach. Pull both hands forcefully up and outward.
ANGRY:
VERY IMPORTANT: Use an angry facial expression.
Memory hint: "As if being so mad you could rip
your guts out."
Sandy: "Aren't the thumbs extended?"
Dr Bill: Good point. I just signed this to myself and I noticed that I
do use an "extended" thumb at the beginning of this sign. Then as I pull the sign up and slightly
away from the body my fingers and thumbs flex a bit. The fingers bend at
the second and third knuckles but not at the first knuckle (large knuckles).
Funny, I also just noticed that I tend to bend my left thumb but not my
right. I reckon that counts as a "speech impediment" of some kind. Time for
therapy eh?
