It’s great to find yourself smiling after going through an article. From the “House of Honor” to the “The Closet of Ease,” I can’t help chuckling. Thanks, Molly!

Don’t forget “restroom” and “comfort room” though.

Hi Molly! I had fun reading your article. This ubiquitous little room has indeed played a major role in people’s lives, no matter which culture they belong to.

The Jake! Oh my! After months and months of deciding on what to name our baby boy — who’s coming out in September — now I think we’re back to square 1! We thought Jacob (Jake) was such a nice name for a boy!

These are funny sayings. I think I’ll start using “privy” with an English accent because it’s more fun to say it that way. LOL.

“House of the Morning”? That’s the first for me. I’ve heard of “loo” and “the john” for common names. These are funny. Hope no one ever uses toilet water to brush their teeth! However, did you hear about the study with ice being DIRTIER than toilet water?

Potty has come to be popular, one of those colloquialisms in everyday language.

I think “the closet of ease” is so appropriate! Maybe we should include “potty” in that list, don’t you think so?

You know what I’ve always wondered? Why it’s called the John when it was Tom who invented the toilet in the first place? It just has always made little sense to me- I thought credit was to be given where due.
