The answer refers specifically to American Sign Language, and should not be misconstrued to refer to any other sign language.

Since I know this answer I will let you know. It is not a secret. You either finger-spell it, or you point to the side of your buttocks with the index finger of your dominant hand (modified X hand-shape). You will use either of those two formats depending on the setting and context of your sentence. For example, it would be better to finger-spell this word if you are in the Sanctuary of your church... as the second example might appear obscene to onlookers. You do not have to touch it or pat it... many novice signers make those adaptations out of uncertainty. The pointing example is made with a quick repeated movement. You may also mouth or say the word if you are talking to a lipreader or person who is hard of hearing.
