Tangerine can be signed by depicting the peeling of a tangerine.
While "tangerine" isn't common in ASL -- we can see signs for tangerine in some
other signed languages in which the signer typically uses a depictive "peeling
of a tangerine" approach. The "peeling a tangerine" sign makes a lot of
intuitive sense in the same way that the ASL sign for "banana" is very
intuitive.
TANGERINE:
Hold a non-dominant S hand (thumb-side up, palm toward the dominant side) in the
neutral signing space as if depicting a tangerine. Use a modified "A" hand (with
the thumb and index finger adjusted as if they were gripping something) to peel
the tangerine (twice, using a forward -- away from you -- peeling movement).
