  1. Synonym of squat toilet.

    One of the great character-building experiences left in Paris is the Turkish toilet (more irreverently known as the “squat and pray”). Be prepared. Don't just turn around and leave before you give it a shot (pardon the pun). The Turkish toilet is a glorified hole in the ground.
