PAH! is just one of many "oralized" ASL words! Here are a few others, and then we'll see if you have any of your own to contribute?!

What about "poh" ?
that's mouth morpheme. They're not English words at all.
a more interesting and what would probably be a fun challenge is this, i will type out a word and you tell me the ASL sign for it ;)
The word I will use here is...whopth ;)
Anonymous, there are many words that aren't in the English dictionary, but we still understand what it means. I once saw Pah! on a powerpoint and immediately knew what it meant. How about "pih"? As in: His pih always escape.
Another one "true biz" True biz, he really did do it!
Hello everyone...thanks for all your comments! My responses...
Fridge pictures--still up, yeah. Don't tell my wife!! ;-)
Riffly--ahh, just checked and right now its available only to WordPress users. Riffly says they will have a solution available for Blogger soon. You got me thinking, however, and will check out other possibilities.
'Whopth'...I give up! What is it?!
'Pih'...if I understand the word you are trying to say, I always thought it to spell as 'mend'. Wow...huge difference?!
'True biz' this is an interesting topic!
Roger,
Really GOOD to see you BACK!
I always thought that "grand" sign meant despise, loathe.
How interesting about connecting the dots to ASL expressional signs from other ASL signs, ex. grandmother.
I could not think of right word to describe many deaf people's expressional sign for "not yet" at the end of statement.
This same sign with exaggerated movement meant "Not me!".
I am really glad to see you bringing up this interesting topic and look forward to see more of your ponders about our linguistic expressions.

Deaf Tend Your: Non-Manual Signs in ASL
This book and video are designed to provide information about the non-manual aspects of ASL: what to do with your mouth when signing ASL! The book is packed with information and the video features Dr. Byron Bridges demonstrating appropriate mouthing.
Mouth Morphemes: In American Sign Language
Due to a rapid growth of ASL classes, there is void in sign language curriculum. The missing element is mouth morpheme or mouthing. ASL instructors should be incorporating mouthing as an important component of their course objectives. This video features 52 different mouthing movements along with their respective phonological meanings.
Roger, The way you signed Grand with your deaf mouth and it looks like you are turking or leash out at someone..It does look a little negative to me when you are signing grand with your deaf mouth.. Am I right or wrong?
Are you really signing grandma?
Or just happen the way you signed grand with your natural deaf mouth.
really grandma!
Hello,
My name is Dream (not real name but my identity on the web). I have tried repeated to learn to sign but I can only learn from books. I have watched videos on the web and the sign they do is in a different format than mine (I am doing sign wrong because I am learning without a teacher). I wish to learn this lanugage the right way and best way that I can. I enjoy talking with my hands and it is inspiring to see other people doing the same. However, I cannot find anyone to teach me to sign correctly.
Please tell me how to find a place where I can learn the correct way of speaking in such a beautiful language.
Thank You,
Dream
To RLM and Anonymous: The 'grand' sign was intended as 'detest' or 'despise'. For example: I 'grand' (detest) creamed corn. Again, for me ever since my early childhood I always associated that 'grand' word with 'grandma' so its kind of a tongue-in-cheek example--intended to be funny, no?! ;-)
Dream...the best place is in person. Usually, college or community ASL classes--taught by a deaf ASL user--are a good place to start. Often, these classes will expose you to various deaf people, some of whom might be happy to spend time conversing with you and/or bringing you into a social situation with other deaf people. Be careful not to talk with deaf people "for the sake of practicing" ;-) We get too many of those :-( Best wishes!
Hello again,
Thank you for the advice. I'll try my best and hopefully succeed. Do not worry about my conversing for the sake of practicing. I love to understand and learn not practice. I've talked with various people from different backgrounds. I like talking and communicating. Everyone has their own voice...I want to hear what everyone has to say.
Thank you again,
Dream
You mean to aim one person that you detest or despise.... You do not like that person is what you mean by that.
Then why are you trying to say?
So it is nothing to do with your deaf natural mouth when you were signing grandma.
So it is fine....
