Get the Simant mug.'Signal' is a slang word which originated from a group of students who studied in Leicester, UK.
Can be pronounced signal, or sig-nal (a as in 'pal'), the latter used in street slang followed by a 'rude-boy' knuckle-clicking gesture, as popularised by Sacha Baron Cohen's character 'Ali G'.
The term is used as a positive response to an event which is very good, or as a response to an object which is of very good quality.
Its origins lie in the context of having a very good television reception/signal.

Get the sima mug.Many people do not know this but there is actually a feature on your car called a "turn signal." The turn signal is a stick behind your steering wheel that when utilized, flashes an orange light on the outside of your car. The orange light then informs other drivers which direction you are thinking about fucking going.
Dumbass Friend: I just don't get it, whenever I turn or switch lanes, someone honks at me and gives me the middle finger.
You: Do you remember to use your turn signal?
Dumbass Friend: What's that?

Get the siena mug.Espousing a moral position about an issue that matters, without individually doing anything about that issue, usually because the issue is too big for any individual to affect. This is an action scoffed at by any opposition, not realizing that if enough people virtue signal about the same issue, they shift hearts & minds to achieve a critical mass of support to the point that the issue is actually politically addressed.
In the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, there should be next to no poverty.
That's virtue signaling. Why don't you go donate to your neighborhood homeless shelter or something?
The problem's bigger than that, with 40 million in poverty, including over 10 million children, and 200 million living paycheck to paycheck, but it's not a problem that can't be solved.
