"Commode"

[Wilson Gray]

The voiceover to a commercial for Clorox Toilet-Bowl Cleaner includes
_commode_ first in its list of synonyms for "toilet." It must be over
sixty years, since I last heard the word so used. Or used at all, for
that matter. Even in Saint Louis BE, the word on the street was
"toilet."
