American Sign Language: "meat
/ steak / flesh"
MEAT:
Grab the fleshy part of your left hand with the index finger and thumb of your right hand. The left hand doesn't move. The right hand wiggles a bit as if getting a good grip on the meat. This sign means "meat" in general, but in context it can be used for "steak" or "flesh." I remember one group of Deaf graduate students even used this sign to mean "context."
Sample sentence: Do you like meat?
