WASHING MACHINE: The American Sign Language (ASL) sign for "washing machine / laundry"

The sign for "washing machine" shows the agitating action of a washing machine.  It can mean "do laundry."  I've also seen people sign "DISH WASHING-MACHINE" to mean "dishwasher."

To produce the sign for "washing machine," use "claw" hands. Twist them opposite directions twice as if showing the agitating movement of a washing machine.
