[41] Denmark [ edit ] In Newfoundland, a well-known song entitled "Good Old Newfie Outhouse" sings the praises of using the outhouse when it is -25 degrees out, mentioning pleasures like pants being frozen in position at the knees. A version by singer Bobby Evans is available on an album called Silly Songs on iTunes. [71] The " Clivus Multrum" is another type of composting toilet which can be inside of an outhouse.

Outhouses vary in design and construction. They are by definition outside the dwelling, and are not connected to plumbing, sewer, or septic system. The World Health Organization recommends they be built a reasonable distance from the house balancing issues of easy access versus that of smell. [1] In conclusion, it is essential to differentiate between a privy and a toilet to maintain accuracy and clarity in discussions. By avoiding common mistakes such as using “privy” as a synonym for “toilet,” referring to historical privies as “toilets,” and neglecting cultural and regional variations, you can ensure that your conversations about these facilities are precise and respectful of their historical, cultural, and contextual significance. Context Matters In 1929 comedian Charles "Chic" Sale published a small book, The Specialist, [67] which was a large "underground" success. Its entire premise centered on sales of outhouses, touting the advantages of one kind or another, and labeling them in "technical" terms such as "one-holers", "two-holers", etc. Over a million copies were sold. In 1931 his monologue "I'm a Specialist" [68] was made into a hit record (Victor 22859) by recording artist Frank Crumit (music by Nels Bitterman). As memorialized in the "Outhouse Wall of Fame", the term "Chic Sale" became a rural slang synonym for privies, an appropriation of Mr. Sale's name that he personally considered unfortunate.

In specialized fields or technical contexts, the terms privy and toilet may have specific meanings that deviate from their general usage. For instance, in the field of architecture, a privy can refer to a small, private space within a larger room or area. On the other hand, in plumbing terminology, a toilet specifically denotes the fixture used for human waste disposal. It is crucial to recognize these technical jargon exceptions to ensure accurate and precise communication within specific professional domains. 4. Cultural Connotations One in four people around the world have no access to adequate sanitation, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

There are other types of toilet that may be covered by an outhouse superstructure, or a toilet tent (e.g. in humanitarian relief operations), or even be installed inside a house that is beyond the reach of sewers. The Swedish Pacto toilet uses a continuous roll of plastic to collect and dispose of waste. [21] Incinerating toilets are installed in several thousand cabins in Norway. [22] These toilets incinerate waste into ashes, using only propane and 12 volt battery electricity.
