Actually, depending where you are, you just might point to your crotch when you need the bathroom. When I was in Italy nobody spoke English, so wild gestures and pointing were necessary to convey my question.

I dunno, it worked for me in Beijing. Then again, I was directed to an alley, but the point got across.

I guess for the same reason a man doesn't unzip and pull it out on the way to the restroom.

what do you mean? I do...i also point to my mouth when i am hungry and point to my bed when i am sleepy...i am also a mute so that might be the reason...

that is a very good question!!!!!! i dont know!
-
HA! thats a VERY good point!

LOL! Hilarious! You're a question asking machine! I LOVE IT! . Ummm... I think pointing at my pee-pee when I'm doing the pee-pee dance is a little redundant, don't you think?

Nobody wants to be accused of giving hand signals to the potty police and have their name in the newspaper next to Larry Craig.

i no some people who dance around yelling NEED A TOILET

Never thought of that.....that would be kind of weird and unpleasant...don't you think?
-
Because it could be mis-interpretted

Ah because the dialect is so close to " where is the ho house?". People might get confused

Cause that already means something else. Usually accompanied by "wink, wink."

Because it would drive people WILD with lust, what with it being such a suave move and all. It is very difficult to get on with your toilet business when someone is trying to rip off your clothes.

I did that as a little kid. I grabbed it and did the peepee and the poopoo dance. Where were you? After a certain age we typically just ask, "Where's the can?"

I put on a Michael Jackson cd everytime someone grabs their crotch..........

for the same reason you ask for the bathroom or restroom... people do not want to think about what you are going to be doing when you get there.

If seen people holding their butt while running for the bathroom!
-
I point to my crotch all the time.
-
I dunno 'bout you, but I point to my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is.
-
Sometimes my crotch points for me, especially when asking where the vagina is. *brightly*
-
because pointing at, or holding even, your crotch, is equated with something 'else' in our society, which generally is not related to that which you asked about.
