Here are a few that will probably work: Bathroom: Washroom Night Chamber Honey House The "Chamber" Toilet: Throne Sh'tare Honey Hole Magic Hole Yurgen The "Hole" Upstairs Toilet: Chamber Pot Honey Pot The "Pot" Turd Stein Fecal Matter: Night Soil Turd Scat Hudoo Doot -------------------- "You gotta know what you don't know."

You forgot doot as a reference to fecal matter! -------------------- Sumdood's official gross post award, given to Reilin and I for the Booger Love post.

Unregistered	Hi, For toilets if you are looking for something a little less cliche, perhaps for the word toiler you could use cultus, ornatus, or to be a little more self explanitory, latrina. Just an idea. Love, LOB P.S. The perfect smiley!

We already got some with the basic gist of that idea in Throne... -------------------- Sumdood's official gross post award, given to Reilin and I for the Booger Love post.

Unregistered	Hi, I hope you feel a lot better when you are reading this but actually both those words mean Toilet. But, of course the english scholars have given latin words multiple meanings. Love, LOB

Lesser Diety Group: RPG Character Posts: 2038 Member No.: 538 Joined: 14-January 05	Thanks, LoB, I do feel better now. I think I know the reason they did give multiple meanings to the words... There's a place in Cicero's writings where he describes Verres with the word cultus and some otheer adjectives. It would be translated as describing Verres as rich, mannerly and elegant. Or if cultus means toilet there, then as rich, mannerly and toilet. And there's another place where the very same Verres stole some cups, ornati auri poculi. These would cups of decorated gold or cups of toilet gold, depending on the translationg of ornatus as toilet or decorated. Where did you learn that those words meant toilet, out of curiosity? I've taken over two years of college Latin and never come across that definition. I would be interested to expand my knowledge... can you give me a link? -------------------- Sumdood's official gross post award, given to Reilin and I for the Booger Love post.
