Make the sign "_______" by making a
right "flat hand" (looks like a "b" handshape but with the thumb alongside
the fingers instead of bent across the palm). Place the right "flat hand"
under your chin with the palm facing down and the fingertips pointing to
your left. Bend and unbend your hand several times from the large
knuckles. The fingers stay together while bending and unbending.
That is the sign. There is also a "joke" sign for this concept: Make a
right "V" handshape. Bend the index and middle fingers of your
right "V" handshape at the second and third knuckles. Then using the
tips of the index and middle fingers, make one quick motion to poke two
imaginary breathing holes in an imaginary snout on your face.
