TOILET / UNITAZ

[Kim Braithwaite]

Digressing slightly, if anyone has a copy of McLovsky, Klyne, and 
Chtchouplov (Shchuplov)'s Zhargon-Entsiklopediya Moskovskoy Tusovki (Moscow, 
1997), take a look at the entry "Bundesrat" for a list of Russian slang 
terms for "toilet" and the like - followed by a 13-page essay on same. 
Amusing in places. As is the book itself.

BTW, does anyone know where to get another copy of the work? I'd like to 
send one to a friend.

Do Italians write "bagni" for bathrooms in public places?
