Ending the week’s ASL posts for FOOD with the flatware that serves it. Resting on the left side of the plate, the Fork has two or more prongs to hold food in place for cutting or lifting food into the mouth.
My ASL Dictionary has a cartoon of American comedian, actor, and pianist Leonard Joesph “Chico” Marx, wearing a green suit and Tyrolean hat, the oldest brother of the Marx Brother troupe whose management would lift and hold his brothers in place, showing the ASL hand sign for FORK.
V hand jabs into the opposite hand twice, like jabbing a fork into a meal.
