lingua franca

Person 2: Wow, I completely agree that it should be more integrated into our daily word choice

American Sign Language

A series of hand gestures, each representing a letter of the alphabet or an entire phrase; Very useful to deaf people & also if you're somewhere ya gotta be quiet so you just sign instead of talk. It originated in the early 19th century in the American School for the deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.

Monica's daughter is deaf so I got to see American Sign Language in action. It was a very interesting experience & her siblings knew how to sign too; their fingers just flew!

tough language

Profanity-laced, colorful metaphors describing those kinds of people and places. You know the ones.

The President used tough language to describe the people and countries that are keeping America from becoming great again. You know the ones.
