When you're chatting to someone and they start boring you. You signal that you're bored by fidgetting with your mobile phone or your media player, cos that's more important!
Rudy: Yo, man, that Tess was trying hard to impress you last night! No one could stop her chatting yo!
Mike: Tell me about it, Rude. I had to check me text while she be chatting just to send her a bored signal!
Rudy: Man, that's harsh!
Mike: Yeh, but it do the trick. She wondered off a couple minutes later!

A term that is far too often used to dismiss an opposing opinion that is based on morals, ethics, or ideals, when the introduction of such into a debate could critically undermine one's stance.
Waldon: "But you CAN'T flatten that building to build a Walmart! Not only is it an orphanage, but the roof is a rare bird sanctuary, it's built over a graveyard AND an aquifer, hosts the only local live music night in the city on Wednesdays, and is a legally protected heritage site!"
Developer: "Don't listen to that virtue signalling hippy, boys, start up them bulldozers, we got a permit!"

One of the original manufacturers of warning lights and sirens.
There is no sound quite like that of a fire truck screaming by.
What makes this so impressive is the ear deafening wail of the venerable Federal Q machanical siren.

The other side of the coin to virtue signalling; rather than angling for praise by performatively proclaiming their support for certain causes, vice signalling involves attempting to show off their good person credentials by performatively approving of harm or other bad things that have befallen others.
Like virtue signalling, vice signalling is a largely tribal act; a way for the speaker to associate themselves with certain other groups, causes or ideals. Also like virtue signalling, vice signalling is a means of doing this without actually showing any follow-through or doing anything tangible for the cause it apparently supports; much like adding a filter to your Facebook profile to support Group X doesn't actually accomplish anything, tweeting your support for violence against Group Y serves to gain edgy clout without actually taking any meaningful action. Finally and also like virtue signalling, it is not so much the morals behind it as the smug and performative nature of vice signalling that make it irritating: a reasonable person might for instance agree that at times, the use of force has been necessary to stop people from committing terrible acts, but when someone makes a great deal of effort to be seen revelling in physical harm done to someone else however necessary it may have been, it ceases to be about the morals and becomes instead an exercise of preachy autofellatio.
Steve never fails to post on Reddit about how great it is every time some celebrity he doesn't like dies. A classic case of vice signalling.

Actions that run counter to societal norms so as to prove your love and loyalty to friends, loved ones, etc.
'Did that guy just knock over your beer?!'
'Yea, that's Dan. He's just shit signaling. Don't judge him by this interaction alone.'
