Bent ring finger
By making this Sign, you’re saying that someone is ultra-conservative, close-minded, or just an old-fashioned square. Your facial expression is lips pressed tightly together, perhaps paired with a snobbish-type expression.
Crossed index fingers in “X” handshape
This expression is also commonly used in both hearing and Deaf worlds. It’s sometimes used when someone sneezes and you want to let that person know that you don’t want to catch his or her cold. It can also mean
stay back
or
don’t come any closer.
