How to sign “Guys” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Guys” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Shape your dominant hand into an open hand with the thumb extended outward.
- Touch your thumb firmly against the side of your forehead near the temple.
- Sweep your hand straight down until the thumb lands flat on your chest.
- Keep your palm angled toward your opposite side while the hand travels downward.
- Hold a neutral, matter-of-fact expression, since the sign needs no special facial grammar.
