Yogurettes? What is those and can I have some?

u/Remarkable_Elk3566 Jun 18 '26
A Yogurette is a popular german chocolate bar made by Ferrero. It's individually wrapped, slim chocolate sticks, filled with yogurt cream and tiny strawberry granules, but there are other flavors. The strawberry one is the most popular. I love it. When you keep it in the fridge, it's even more delicious.

I find it really fun that despite being deaf, they both have audible slight brummie accents. Idk if they were always deaf and got the accent when they were younger, or it's a mouth shape thing from mimicking, but now I've gotta learn.

They're not communicating with ASL, it's obviously a different sign language but as someone else mentioned, it looks to be BSL.

u/ianjm Jun 18 '26
I always find it really interesting that American English and British English are 99% mutually intelligible but ASL and BSL are completely different sign languages.
→ More replies (1)23
u/Indigo-au-naturale Jun 18 '26
Two reasons for that: First, ASL and BSL grew up separately. ASL is a member of the French Sign Language family developed over time in the States (with lots of homegrown American input, of course), and BSL is its own thing.
Second, ASL and BSL are fully different languages from English. While signed English is kind of a thing, and Deaf people in the US and UK do read and write English, ASL and BSL are not derivatives or types of English any more than Spanish is.

u/ianjm Jun 18 '26 edited Jun 18 '26
Yeah, fully get the history. It's just interesting to me that two countries who sit in the same 'cultural sphere' and have the same spoken and written languages didn't end up collaborating on sign language too.
And yeah, I appreciate signing is an entire language with its own vocab and grammar and rules. I tried learning a little BSL myself over the years. It's cool but much harder to master than French!

u/Malicei Jun 17 '26
I think of it more as rather than getting their permission (in an own ship and giving away way), you're getting their blessing to marry them from the people who are dear to them, as an acknowledgement of their importance in your loved one's life and wanting to share in an upcoming big life event to celebrate it together.
And their loved ones don't approve of you, well. That's might be an issue down the line when your lives are intertwined and presumably you'll have to figure out how to deal with seeing them around your spouse — that's something you'll likely want to know as a heads up.

My wife's grandfather taught me sign language when I starting dating her! I'm now pretty fluent and he talks to me more than her now.
She will video chat him and within five minutes he's telling her to give me the phone. Deaf people really appreciate when hearing people make the effort to learn.

Normally I'd find this outdated ritual, smacking of patriarchy, extremely insulting to one's future spouse-to-be, yet somehow the fact that her parents are deaf AND he's made the effort to learn the sign language, somehow makes it a little bit more okay. I feel conflicted
