TEASING++ as shown in the video clip above is being signed repeatedly (thus, the ++ notation) and has varying degrees of emphasis. It is being signed out exactly like SMOOTH but begins in front of ones chin and continues repetitively. Its English version with varying emphasis is the same as in “overly teasing,” “teasing heavily,” “picking on,” “teasing with enjoyment,” or “teasing with meanness.” The facial expression would reflect the degree of emphasis from light teasing to heavy teasing. Sometimes uplifting shoulders would accompany to show heavy emphasis.
Usage Examples:
1. My husband loves TEASING++ me.
2. Becky sobbed and complained of kids TEASING++ on hear at school.
3. Shelly told Cheryl that she cant stand Scott for always TEASING ++ her.
4. Thats alright, Joseph enjoys TEASING ++ people, but never hurts their feelings.
