THINGAMAJIG: How do you sign "thingamajig" in ASL?



The concept of "thingamajig" could be signed by doing the sign for THING while using an uncertain facial expression. This is somewhat similar to the English approach of saying "thing" and then adding "...amajig" to express uncertainty as to the precise label or nature of the thing.

Another approach would be to use the sign SOMETHING / someone / single and the follow it with the THING sign.
