cartav Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Don't know why it all came up, but we were talking euphemisms & in particular terms for toilets, outhouses, closets, loos, etc. and how a lavatory basin was, properly. something one used to wash hands and faces ......... yes really ! And going way, way, back to infant & junior school days we took relief in the " DUBS". Anyone heard that expression in more recent times ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinder Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Well I've heard them called Bogs, P,Corner, even Latrines But the norm was either lav, or closet, and in female company "The Toilet" where I came from. Never heard of Dubs, that no Sheffspeak I know of .... Edited June 2, 2014 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartav Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 ..................................... Never heard of Dubs, that no Sheffspeak I know of .... Sure was or, at least, there was no doubting that those who used it were Sheff born & bred ......... all of the lads, that is, no matter from which of the very mixed early WW2 backgrounds we belonged. I'll check with a mate who is even more ancient than me........... Bet he can't remember ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cartav Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 the dubs ive never heard of it either Well, that might just be ignorance ! But only if those in my immediate circle agree with ME ! Sad to say they don't, so I withdraw the word. But it was used.... Honest ! It came back to me when I visited the old school last week to vote. Not much chance of the present bunch of pupils carrying on the tradition......... not one WASP in sight from what I can see............ And that's another word to haggle over ! .
