Actually, the "toilet bowl" signal is an official, approved signal for reset the shot clock. I use it way too often in Maryland (HS Girls use a shot clock) as the operators never seem to reset properly.

It's when people use it for BI/GT that it is inappropriate.
I think the toilet bowl signal he's referring to is the one where one arm is held out in front in a round shape parallel to the floor, and the other arm swoops down into it like a scrub brush going after the "stains". THAT'S hilarious!!
