WAITER:
You can add the PERSON-(agent) sign to "SERVICE"
to mean "waiter."
EVERY-AFTERNOON: The sign "every-AFTERNOON"
is similar to the sign "afternoon" except that the dominant hand
makes a horizontal (sideways) sweep."
GO-WITH / accompany: Use the sign WITH, but move it forward at an
angle to your right (or left) toward your "destination."
SELF-[think-self, myself, yourself, himself, themselves]. The sign
"self" can be modified to indicate various pronouns or to tell
someone to "Think for yourself." ("It is up to you.") See the
"ACCOMPANY" entry on the "WITH
advanced discussion" page.

source.
NAD:
National
Association of the Deaf
TITLES or titles of address: When
signing in the Deaf community we rarely use the "title" "Dr." as in "Dr.
Vicars." We tend to just use the person's name
sign and are much less concerned with "titles." Also, we
only use the DOCTOR sign when
referring to "medical doctors." On those limited occasions when we do
refer to people who hold "doctor of philosophy" or "doctor of education"
degrees (such as introducing them at a conference) we fingerspell "D-R."
In college environments, when sending email to instructors who hold
doctorate degrees students should indeed type "Dr." But in everyday
conversations in the hallway, meetings, or classes it is generally
standard to just use the person's name sign (without adding the title
"Dr."). During formal meetings in academic settings involving
mixed cultural groups (Deaf and Hearing or instructors and students) you
may notice that when professional interpreters see a name sign they tend
to voice the title "Dr." along with the last name of the person being
referenced. That is because such interpreters are skilled at jockeying
between cultures. It is their job to recognize and bridge the
cultural differences. If the meeting is a small faculty meeting
with no students involved then the interpreter is much more likely to
voice just the first name of the person being referenced with a name
sign. Again, that is because the interpreter is aware of the setting and
interprets in a culturally appropriate manner.
