fly a sign

Hold up a sign - usually cardboard, usually on a street corner, usually asking for some sort of handout.

I was once told that if you're going to fly a sign the best is "Anything helps. God bless."

virtue signalling

A term that is far too often used to dismiss an opposing opinion that is based on morals, ethics, or ideals, when the introduction of such into a debate could critically undermine one's stance.

Waldon: "But you CAN'T flatten that building to build a Walmart! Not only is it an orphanage, but the roof is a rare bird sanctuary, it's built over a graveyard AND an aquifer, hosts the only local live music night in the city on Wednesdays, and is a legally protected heritage site!"

Developer: "Don't listen to that virtue signalling hippy, boys, start up them bulldozers, we got a permit!"

Stop Sign

A person who is slow to catch on and having a mental block. Someone that annoys you, because they don't get it, it's like they are stuck at a stop sign while everyone else is moving forward.

"That guy is such a stop sign".

signing

The art of stealing street/construction signs. Usually, any street sign is acceptable to take, however, it is an unspoken rule that signs such as "Hospital" or "In Memory Of" be left alone. Most people say it is unacceptable to take "Stop" signs, but if it's in a sparsely trafficed area, it is usually fine. Almost anything else is fair game. Some people hold contests to see who who is able to jack the funniest/rarest signs. This is a popular sport among the Hellraisers.

Hellraiser 1: Dude, I just jacked a Police Parking Only Sign while signing last night!

Hellraiser 2: You got balls man, but mine is funnier, it says, "Speed Humps Zone"! That one's goin' in my dorm for sure.

Federal Signal

One of the original manufacturers of warning lights and sirens.

There is no sound quite like that of a fire truck screaming by.
What makes this so impressive is the ear deafening wail of the venerable Federal Q machanical siren.
