agree  James McVay: I agree with Natalya. Also, the brand name "Porta-Potty" has entered the language in the US as a common colloquial term for portable toilets.
3 hrs
  -> Thank you. Also "Portaloo" in the UK. But I think of "portable" mainly as meaning able to be carried by hand. However, the portable toilets in Natalya's reference are certainly not.
agree  Deborah Hoffman: how come I always miss the fun ones?
3 hrs
  -> Thank you. Toilets are not necessarily fun!
