Hold your non-dominant hand up, flat, with the fingers pointing up and the palm facing your dominant side. Take your dominant hand, open with fingers slightly curved, and place it near the top of your non-dominant hand. Slide your dominant hand downward along the palm of your non-dominant hand while wiggling your fingers, making sure to include a disgusted facial expression.
To express this, you would sign 'science', 'class', 'kids', 'make', 'green', and finally 'slime'. Emphasize the gooey texture of the slime by wiggling your dominant fingers slowly as they slide down your non-dominant palm.
Start by pointing to your shoe, then use a very strong disgusted facial expression while signing 'slime'. The intense facial expression acts as the 'Ew!' in the sentence, perfectly capturing the feeling of stepping in something gross.
Sign 'me', 'touch', 'slime', and 'hate'. When signing 'slime', make sure to wiggle your fingers as your dominant hand moves down to clearly show the texture you are talking about, pairing it with a strong grimace.

Yes, facial expressions in ASL are like tone of voice in spoken English. The grimace or scrunched nose helps convey the gross, sticky texture of the slime. Without the facial expression, the sign loses its descriptive power and might look like a generic movement.
Absolutely! Because this sign visually describes a thick, oozing substance, it can be used to describe goo, gunk, or any similarly sticky and gross material. The visual nature of the sign makes it very versatile for different types of messy substances.
Yes, your dominant hand should always be the one moving and wiggling. Your non-dominant hand stays stationary to act as the surface the slime is dripping down. Reversing this can make the sign feel awkward and harder for fluent signers to read.
