signal

'Signal' is a slang word which originated from a group of students who studied in Leicester, UK.

Can be pronounced signal, or sig-nal (a as in 'pal'), the latter used in street slang followed by a 'rude-boy' knuckle-clicking gesture, as popularised by Sacha Baron Cohen's character 'Ali G'.

The term is used as a positive response to an event which is very good, or as a response to an object which is of very good quality.

Its origins lie in the context of having a very good television reception/signal.

"Ay up, have you seen my new footy boots?"
"Aw, Signal!"

"This is some Grade-A stuff"
*sniff*
"Sig-nal!!"

pokie signaling

When a woman goes without her bra so that her nipples poke through her blouse or sweater, and asks her guy in, she is engaging in pokie signaling. This is an invitation to some kind of intimacy, from petting to coitus.

"It's kind of cool, and my nips are up. I'm doing a little subtle pokie signaling."
