Bod💪🦵The Bod has a muscular physique

That's a good example of how names and generally also words and phrases were and still are created in German Sign Language (DGS). German, both as noun and as adjective, is signed by moving your fist with extended index finger in front and above of your forehead, as if the speaker was wearing a very typical prussian helmet, the Pickelhaube.

(Actually, that's the only word I know in DGS.)

The Hamburg University has a DGS dictionary, from there, you can find word 83 "Deutsch", including a short video clip. (It's no accient or random coincidence that you find the DGS dictionary here. The Hamburg University has started research on the DGS and played a big role in getting it accepted as a fully-featured language equivalent to written and spoken German. It hosts the IDGS, the institute for German Sign Language] researching and educating DGS.)

Stock exchanges use their own sign language(s). Using a finger as a moustache shall remind of Adolf Hitler's typical toothbrush moustache, and is the sign for the Deutsche Bank. Not very polite, not politically correct, but a distinct sign.

(Again, the only sign that I know.)

A few more signs can be found at https://www.sueddeutsche.de/geld/zeichensprache-an-der-boerse-die-geste-zaehlt-1.973935.
