A “classifier” is a type of sign that shows a general

category of shape or function.

For example, a CL:C can show a cup.

A modified CL:C (index and thumb) can show a large

COIN. A CL:F can show a quarter or

button.

Often when signing ASL we will ask if the person is

familiar with a topic…then we will go on with our sentence.

We do this by raising our eyebrows and signing things

like: KNOW, REMEMBER, HEARD, SEE BEFORE…

Some Deaf Subscribe to "Supplemental Security Income" (SSI) which is a form of government support.  The sign for "receive SSI" is the same as the sign for "subscribe/subscription."  It means "to get regularly."  It can also be interpreted as "being on the dole."
