    “Commode” is one of those? Huh. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a person use that word (I’ve only seen it in writing)

      my grandpa used commode, but i haven’t heard it from anyone younger. grandpa was a Depression era kid, and the family was poor to begin with.

      he also said “shorts” instead of “underpants”, which caused my brother who only wore long pants some confusion and trouble.
