When I asked, it was described as two players in the hand and when the action was on the second player, specifically to give context and described the movement the way the OP did. The answer, as previously stated was universal on the point that no one knew it as a way of asking to see the other players stack.
What previously wasn't said, because of an attempt to reduce the controversy, was that over half the people said: "if anything, it would be a motion, in turn, and therefore a check". Unfortunately, though trying to avoid that aspect, it seems to have dominated the responses. Partly my fault, I suppose, as it is clearly an unpopular position.
On the single point of the motion being a request to see a stack, it seems to be a regional thing and, though in conflict with "motion in turn", is, therefore, not universal. I can respect that, but given the tone of your post, I doubt you can.
I didn't ask about it to prove anything to you, or the forum. But to try and learn something new and share the responses back.
