Please describe the difference between the signs for nice, clean and excuse.

I hope I am correct....clean is sliding then entire palm facing down of right hand across heel to fingers of the left hand palm facing up.
Excuse is wiping the fingertips right hand across the upturned left open hand from heel off the fingertips.
Nice as my instructor has demonstrated it is sliding the middle right hand finger across the upturned left open hand from heel off the fingertips. Your facial would be sucking in like a straw.

I am thinking that clean is the way that Joriejefferies described except I think that you swipe twice.
I think that nice is one swipe same motion as above.
Unless I am just not invisioning the description of nice that she described. I am seeing that as the sign for rude (using the middle finger of the right on the left)
Excuse, I believe is swiping the fingertips of your dominant hand on the upturned non-dominant fingers twice.
