It’s more of a squat, hovering over the toilet seat.
Sit in a chair, rest your elbows on your knees, and lift your ass. Now, use the elbow of your non-wiping arm to keep the support while you wipe using the other arm’s hand.
No, it’s higher than a full squat, and you aren’t really leaning on anything. If you want to be super fucking pedantic you could call it a half stand I guess, but the point is your butt is off the seat.
There’s no good word for that position, and you’re doing your best to point out perceived flaws in wording rather than trying to understand.

Note how that does not involve standing
You’re not standing upright, but standing in a squatting position. Semantics, I guess.
Not standing, then, but squatting, or leaning while seated.

If someone said the word “standing” to you, that’s not what you would picture.
You don’t have to lean on anything to lean.
Yes, we’re going to “be super fucking pedantic,” if you insist on getting bent out of shape about it. First day on the Internet?
OK smart guy, which word would have been better?
Wiping position
Ok but that’s not some universally recognized term, and is more ambiguous than what you objected to. Try again?
