Sign languages are as expressive and systematic as spoken languages, and that includes taboo words. As Benjamin Bergen writes in What the F, ‘Signers use rules of grammar, some of them specific to profanity, just like speakers of spoken languages.’ There’s also great variation in how a given idea may be conveyed – not just between sign languages or their dialects but within them.
If Cory O’Brien’s terrific post on the middle finger in American Sign Language made you want to increase your rude repertoire in ASL, look no further. The video below features a host of signers demonstrating some favourite insults and profanities. It also shows how much fun swearing can be.
The video is produced by Cut, but the participants and crew are not listed, at least nowhere obvious.

As a beginner I found the signs unclear and too fast. However I enjoyed the video. The sign and signed for bullshit was clear with explanation.

Your program was funny, very clear and understanding. It brought memories back to me that I had forgotten when I was a special ed teacher years ago. I use that sign language when people are driving crazy (don’t use the middle finger cause people know what you are saying and can be bigger idiots). Do something they don’t know and they won’t make things worse and you will still relieved. Thanks again!
