Children sometimes do it when they think they've won the argument, beat you to last sweet or think they've got the better of you in any other way.

it is not a BSL sign
but is an insult not usually used over the age 12
(so it wd be OK on this site ) ter daaah

thumb on CHIN and waving finger = edible fish
(usually used with a finger and thumb moonie to signify chips)

jwatts, your post is really badly spelled, enough to make it almost unintelligible.
But it does remind me that I love watching the Welsh and Scottish signers standing behind their politicoes, making gestures that really seem to express what they make of what they are interpreting. (finger across the throat; twiddly gestures by their temple; two fingers in their gob.....) One can only imagine what they'd find to do if Johnson ever showed his face in public, instead of sending out a housing minister to explain health, or an under-education minister to speak for international trade.

Sign assisted english - the signs are in the word order of english

(finger across the throat; - - - dead or meat
twiddly gestures by their temple; - know or understand - understand probably
two fingers in their gob.....- lower - disappointment
higher - visualise - (V-) see?

the facial thingeys go with the signs = multichannel signs
and are NOT comments on the lies politicians tell

channel 252 - signed news at 0700, 0800 and 1300
