The Can, don't know who started calling the old toilet a can but I sure use it a lot. The toilet has many names for example, crapper, latrine, john(poor John i'm sure he had no say in this matter), shithouse, loo, khazi, Netty, Lavatory, Shitter, outhouse,and hole...Now when they say hole...that usually means a big hole in the ground. And trust me, its a scary site! Man, those bring back the good old camping days.. I'm sure this is useful information. If its not flash it down your can.......
