American Sign Language:  "use"


USE:
 



This sign reminds me of the sign "work."  Sort of an initialized version.  Except I generally do the sign work with palm-side of my left hand facing a little more backwards or upwards.  
For the sign "use," the base of the right "u" hand comes down on the back or side of the left "s" hand.   This sign is relatively flexible. For example, if you use a relaxed left hand instead of an "s" hand--nobody cares.  Heck, half the time you just get rid of the left hand altogether and draw two small circles in the air with the right "u" hand.
