Piss in the wind

Description:But 'pissing in the wind' is quite clear to anyone who has relieved himself overboard not heeding the prevailing wind. I've heard and said "spitting in the wind" and "pissing in the ocean," but not "pissing in the wind. I thought it meant pointless but that would be more like 'pissing in the rain'. I googled and found lots of "pissing into the wind" hits. I think I've also heard the phrase "whistle up a storm," but perhaps not, since I'm not nautical nor nice. If you emend the phrase to "pissing into the wind," or if you actually do it, the consequences will be readily apparent.
