Because I now live in a house with a herd o' deaf people (deaf people travel in herds), I have started to learn how to SIGN! Like a champion! Unfortunately, my new roommates are the ones who introduced me to The Walking Dead, so a good chunk of my vocabulary is limited to what's relevant in a zombie apocalypse.
THINGS I DO NOT CURRENTLY KNOW HOW TO SIGN:
"Help! I am having a medical emergency. Please take me to a hospital."
THINGS I CURRENTLY KNOW HOW TO SIGN:
"I want a zombie to eat Rick Grimes."
Our only hope is that the writers of The Walking Dead respond to American Sign Language in a way that they do not respond to common sense and the rules of narrative writing.
As an aside, when we started watching the show, one of the first words I asked how to sign was "awkward."
I use it so often now that that's who my birthday card was addressed to.
