1. I will be the first to admit I’m far from proficient in ASL; my grandparents both used to teach ASL back in the Sixties and Seventies, they taught me a handful of words and phrases as a child (and my best friend in junior high/high school had deaf parents and enjoyed teaching me profanity). I have forgotten a lot of it, but basically have the vocabulary of a foul-mouthed toddler. So, I may be wrong about this, but…

   I don’t see her use the word “choke” or “gag” at any point during this performance, which are two prominent words in the lyrics during this portion of the song.

   There have been more than a few stories of ASL “interpreters” who were wholly unqualified and just made shit up these last few years.

2. Anyone else remember “crap a pineapple?”

3. Why would a deaf person go to a music concert?

   1. Don,

      Hang out and do things with friends?

      I hate bowling, but I will put on a pair of stinky shoes and roll gutterballs if the gang wants to.

   2. It’s not uncommon. Deafness varies by degrees, but even those who are totally deaf can still feel music via vibrations especially deep bass, enjoy watching the dancers if it’s the type of music that has dancers, and/or just enjoy spending time out with friends.

      The real question is why anyone – hearing or dead – would want to attend a Cardi B concert.

      1. That was supposed to say “hearing or deaf,” but…

         1. Eh. Works either way … especially with voting these days.

      2. I know all that, my post was a lame attempt at humor.

   3. They feel the vibrations and like the energy?

   4. It’s all about the beat. You can feel it even if you can’t hear. Anyone driving within two blocks of a humpty cruiser knows this.

4. Oh! Oh! Oh!

   I know!

   Because cardio B. Is so soul stirring and uplifting, showing G-d’s beauty in song!

   Did I get it right?

   1. You owe me a cell phone, as.my old one is now soaking in seltzer water. (But at least my sinuses are now clear, so thanks for that.)

      1. Um….you’re welcome?
