Are there Euphemisms in American Sign Language For example I know that Lexicalized Fingerspelling is used instead of signing something vulgar Any examples of this?
Yes, American Sign Language (ASL) does have euphemisms. For example, instead of signing a vulgar word or phrase directly, ASL users may use different signs or gestures to convey the same meaning in a more socially acceptable way. One common example is using the sign for "bathroom" or "toilet" as a euphemism for discussing bodily functions or going to the bathroom.
What are common examples of euphemism?
Probably the most common is 'make love' when you mean 'have sex'; another common euphemism on the same subject is 'I love ...', when you mean, 'I desire...', 'I need...", 'I want...'. In people's mind, these last three mean the same thing, but therein lies so much of relationship problems and where people are hurt the most. People don't know they're not thinking about it clearly, but such is 'love (hormones)'. The next most common use of euphemisms is for someones' death; 'he passed away', 'she's left us', 'he's gone', or 'she's at rest'. When people use these euphemisms, they're not trying to fool anyone, they're just trying to be more gentle emotionally.
