Well, yeah. We hear it everywhere now. I was just bringing up the potential that it came from using the arms while signaling in a car initially. Sometimes phrases used with one action carry over into other actions. It could also just be that we use our hands to figure out left from right?

It very well could be, with planes we use port and starboard. Maybe I should use port and starboard when giving directions or when saying turn left use my right arm and point right. Just to confuse people
