Victorian Euphemisms....

[catnhatnh]

...are quaint (like the Geneva Conventions) but useless.Many recent posts have referred to bizarre and mainly Republican behaviors occurring in "bathrooms"....these locations are NOT "bathrooms" nor even showers.At best, in a real estate ad, they would be referred to as a "1/2 bath"-offering basically a sink and a toilet....in short, a shitter or if you must embelish, then use the french term "pissoir"...It puts the acts outlined in to a much more accurate framework...crude acts need not be prettied up-what's going on is sex in a pisser.

3. LOL.

Craig had heard about those gay bath houses. Maybe he thought that's what the airport bathroom was.

2. AKA "restrooms"

which is equally silly.

Where's the toilet? I need some rest ASAP!

4. Bingo...

I could even buy "relief rooms"-though not in the Republican vernacular...

5. Men's Room?

I think that would cover but the "intended use" and all others.

6. Maybe Sen. Craig thought it was a kiosk for

eharmony.com???
