[quote=Anonymous]OK, here's a question: My mother used to say, "I have to go powder my elbows" whenever she had to leave to go to the bathroom. Where did that expression come from, anyone? I never knew what she was talking about when I was young. I couldn't figure out why she would want to powder her elbows.

BTW, I never poop away from home. It's not a conscious choice. I would if I could, but my body won't let me. Vacations always pose a problem for me -- I always pack prunes in my suitcase. DH is another matter altogether. He poops in restaurants!! Yetch!! Mid--way through dinner, he excuses himself, and is gone for, well, a while. Yetch, I say!

DD loves to poop in the powder room. I always call it that, and yes, we live in the city and always have. It's just what we call that room with only a sink and toilet. What else does one call it? Do your guests ask, "Where is your half-bath?" Most people I know call it the powder room except for one friend who always says, "I have to use your restroom." Makes me think my house is a rest stop on the interstate. [/quote]
