American Sign Language: "spend"
This sign is generally done with one hand and means to "spend money." To do it right, pretend you've got a quarter under your thumb. As you move your hand forward, slide the quarter forward and off your fingers as if sliding it into a vending machine.)
This is a great sign. I recall watching a young man talk about his car. That car was his pride and joy. One complaint he had though was it was like a baby. He had to keep "feeding" it. This is the sign he used for "feeding." What he meant was he had to keep spending a lot of money on it.This same sign can be used to mean "nourish."
FEED/NOURISH:
The right hand is somewhat near the mouth. The left hand is lower and more forward. Bring the hands forward and down a bit. Use a double movement.
