Signed Languages of the Deaf are more expressive describing form, motion and dynamics in the 3D-space and also subtle differences in emotion than English and German. Bernese German also seems to be more expressive expressing emotions related to the body, working and being at ease compared to High German. These are the examples I have encountered myself so I don't believe this to be really rare.
There's a thing where English really excels. It has a gigantic lexicon with many words differing in subtle aspects, so you can be very precise. This also makes it easy to create puns.
