ASL has only one idiom – “TRAIN-GOES-BY SORRY” – which is similar to the English idiom: “Missed the boat.” It means the information presented will not be repeated due to your lack of attention.
"What's up?" "What's happening" "How are you?"
**Use this sign with somebody you know.
I didn’t mean to say that, that’s not what I meant,
"What are you doing?", “What did / will you do?”
"Have you been to ...?"
"I really hate that."
Fascinating, interesting.

5. ASL PHRASES PART I Talk to yourself, a sense of isolation.
Blame no one else than yourself.
Fall head or heels in love with.
Excited, Yippee
Need to stop talking right now, that’s enough talking, zip it
