Deaf people - 258 (very interesting) and 84 (there's no good direct translation for this)
Huh, I had never considered deaf slang before. Is there somewhere to read up on this?
Hmm, it's hard to think of good resources for this. It's just kinda part of community. You could google asl slang and look around in YouTube or something. Or learn asl (or your country's sign language) and join the community.
Found a link with a short quip about 258 lol
