To sign "bighead" (meaning arrogant or conceited), start by touching the side of your forehead with your dominant index finger. Next, bring both hands to the sides of your head in "L" shapes, with your index fingers pointing up and your thumbs pointing toward your head. Finally, pull both hands outward and away from your head to visually show the head expanding.
To sign this, you would point to the person, sign 'win game,' and then use the 'bighead' sign. Make sure to use an exaggerated facial expression during the expanding motion to really show off his newfound arrogance.
Start by signing 'don't,' then perform the 'bighead' sign while shaking your head slightly to emphasize the negative command. Finish by signing 'good grades' to complete the context of the sentence.
Sign 'she get promotion,' then transition into the 'bighead' sign. You can pull your 'L' hands extra wide apart to emphasize just how conceited she has become since getting her new job.

No, this sign is an idiom used to describe someone who is arrogant, conceited, or has an inflated ego. To describe a physically large head, you would use descriptive classifiers to outline the actual shape, rather than this specific expanding motion.
Yes, the initial point to the forehead is a key part of this variation. It establishes that you are referencing the mind or ego before showing it expanding. Skipping it might make the sign look like a generic measurement.
The distance you move your hands outward can be modified to match the intensity of the person's ego! A small movement means they are just a little conceited, while pulling your hands far apart shows a massive, over-the-top ego.
