For the record I say, "Dead" when I use that signal. But I would not use the signal without saying something. Actually if only which way we point mattered, what would you do if someone pointed a ball fair, but for some reason got turned around and pointed in foul territory? Would we consider that a signaling of a foul ball and then kill the play? The reason I ask because years ago I did jut that when a ball almost hit me and I got turned around and very briefly signaled in the wrong direction.
