For those who prefer to use the ASL sign for 'toilet,' it is formed by placing the thumb between the index and middle fingers (this forms the letter 'T' in ASL), then quickly twist or shake the hand from side to side. Note that this sign doesn't always specifically refer to an actual toilet. It can be used in a generic sense to convey meanings such as 'bathroom,' 'toilet place,' 'elimination,' 'need to go,' 'pee' and so on.

# they are using makaton
it's a simplified combination of ASL, BSL and common sense, and is not a language in it's own right
