American Sign Language: "height" Also see: TALL HEIGHT (version) Note: There are some excitable folks who will see this sign and start with the "Ooh, ooh, that is a dirty sign! Ooh ooh it means horny!" Spare me folks. Take a cold shower, look closely at the pics, then go pay a native Deaf language model $20 to show you the difference between this sign which refers to the "height of a human being" vs. the sign "horny." They are two different signs. The fact is, I'm making contact with my head with the side of my index finger. This represents the height measurement scale used in many doctor's offices to measure the height of patients. I first learned this sign from Adonia Smith (Deaf) while attending Grad School at Lamar University. I literally hadn't seen it after having lived in four different states. But just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist eh? I saw it again just the other day in a video having to do with medical signing and figured I've got to document this sign for others to enjoy. So, here you go.
