Ogreish thug reels, regularly making signs (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gestures

'signs' is the definition.
(gesture is a kind of sign)

'ogreish thug reels regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'ogreish'+'thug'+'reels'='ogreishthugreels'
The alternate letters of 'ogreishthugreels' are 'GESTURES'.

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for gestures that I've seen before include "Make signs with hand movements" , "Expressive movements" , "Motions that express thoughts" , "waves" , "Movements to express something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
