Knowing the sign for cheese can be a lifesaver when interacting with Deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals. Not only does it show that you're familiar with their culture and language, but it also opens up opportunities for cheesy puns and jokes that are sure to bring a smile to their face. Plus, if you ever find yourself in a silent game of charades, you'll have one more trick up your sleeve (or in this case, on your fingertips).
This sign can also be used to express the sentiment of "cheesy" or "corny," as in "that joke was really cheesy!"
