How to sign “Anything” in ASL
The BSL sign for “Anything” isn't in our dictionary yet — it will be fingerspelled in BSL mode, never replaced with this ASL sign.
Step by step
- Close your dominant hand into an A fist, thumb pressed along the side of the fingers.
- Hold the fist in front of your chest with the palm facing left and the thumb-side up.
- Twist your wrist so the hand finishes palm down, thumb-side still facing left.
- Make the twist one smooth turn, like sweeping through every option.
- Pair it with a casual, open face — anything goes.
Practice tip
The ANY sign doubles as ANYTHING; adding the separate THING sign after it is optional, not required.
