Image Description: It's five o'clock somewhere, right? This pointing your index finger at your wrist is an almost universal sign of asking what the time is. It's a great hand gesture if you are communicating with with a person who is hard of hearing, or if you are traveling to a place where you are unfamiliar with the language. People point to their wrist to ask for the time simply because that is where most people wear their watch. I doubt that people ever pointed to their stomach area to ask the time on pocket watches, but when wristwatches became popular this particular gesture caught on.
