bog

bog
   a lavatory
   A shortened form of bog-house, from the marshy ground which might surround it in the days before modern drainage, the septic tank, or the cesspit:
    At the court held in October 1753... Edward Clanvill was charged with a 'public nuisance in emptying a bogg house (privy) in the street'. (Tyrrell, 1973)
   And in modern use:
    ... been in the bog a long while... What do you suppose he's doing there? (Theroux, 1979 — what indeed?)
