pepper

Shake it baby.

PEPPER:
I love pepper.  Use a quick, small, double motion to mime the act of putting pepper on your food.
For ASL classes I tend to use the "F" handshape. (You can do this sign with a "P" handshape.  Many people do.)

Use an "f" handshape and a quick double motion.



Note: This sign can also mean "seasonings." To mean "seasoning" I'd use about four shakes instead of just two.  While shaking the seasoning I'd reposition my hand to hold the seasoning jar over different parts of the food.  Sort of like shaking hot pepper seeds all over a pizza!   

Sign: pepper
