How to Sign "Cool"

“Cool” is often communicated using a facial gesture (raised eyebrow) or signed as CHILL by brushing your hand across your neck:

• Extend your dominant hand palm down near your neck.
• Brush your hand down your throat area once with a relaxed motion.

Tips

• Think of “cool” as relaxed state — brush down gently.
• Pair with a laid-back facial expression.

Common Mistakes

• Brushing too quickly or aggressively — it should feel calm.
• Combining with an overly intense facial expression — tone matters.

Think: “Brush it down — stay chill, stay cool.”
