To sign 'corndog', you will combine the individual signs for 'corn' and 'dog' into one fluid motion. First, hold both hands in 'S' shapes near your mouth, as if holding an ear of corn, and twist them slightly inward. Then, immediately drop your dominant hand to slap your thigh, and bring it back up while snapping your fingers, just like you are calling a dog.
Start by pointing to yourself for 'I', then sign 'WANT' by pulling open hands toward you, and 'EAT' by bringing a squished 'O' hand to your mouth. Finally, sign 'CORNDOG' by smoothly combining the twisting motion of 'corn' with the leg slap and snap of 'dog'.
Begin by pointing to the person you are asking to sign 'YOU'. Next, sign 'LIKE' by pulling your thumb and middle finger away from your chest. Then, sign 'CORNDOG'. Make sure to raise your eyebrows and lean forward slightly throughout the sentence to clearly indicate you are asking a yes/no question.
In ASL, it is best to establish the time and location first. Start by signing 'FAIR' or 'CARNIVAL' to set the scene. Then, sign 'WE' by moving your index finger from your dominant shoulder to your non-dominant shoulder. Finally, sign 'EAT' and follow it up with the compound sign for 'CORNDOG'.

Yes, fingerspelling C-O-R-N-D-O-G is also perfectly acceptable and commonly used in the Deaf community, especially since it is a specific, branded, or novelty food item. However, the compound sign combining 'corn' and 'dog' is widely understood, visually engaging, and a fun way to practice blending two distinct signs together.
That is completely fine! Many people, both Deaf and hearing, cannot snap loudly or cannot snap at all. Simply brushing your thumb and middle finger together as you bring your hand up from your thigh is more than enough to accurately convey the 'dog' portion of the sign.
Yes, the 'corn' portion of the sign typically uses both hands to visually represent holding the two ends of a corn cob near your mouth. Once you complete the quick twisting motion for 'corn', you simply drop your non-dominant hand and use only your dominant hand for the 'dog' portion.
