TreeStandBowHunter Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Head, Latrine, Bathroom, Restroom [ QUOTE ] Don't know. Maybe a Navy guy or TSBH could tell us [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Head – Marine toilet. In its original form, toilet facilities were found right forward in the bows, so that the smell would be blown downwind and away from the ship (since sailing ships could not lie directly into the wind when underway). The extreme fore part of a ship was known as the "beakhead," which may have been shortened to "head" over time. If this isn't true let's hear the latest "Scuttlebutt". ....popgun [/ QUOTE ] Like Popgun, I just searched on the internet and came up with this because there is no way that I could explain the real defination myself.... HEAD-Latrine or toilet, from the naval term. In the sailing navy the forecastle (pronounced folk-sill) was the most forward deck open to the weather and was the place sailors were allowed to gather to relax and entertain each other. One corner of the forecastle, with a wide scupper, was where sailors went to the bathroom. As the forecastle was in the front or "head" of the ship, a sailor on the way to relieve himself would declare that he was on the way to the head. I just know when I need to relieve pressure, I use the "head" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Head, Latrine, Bathroom, Restroom We all usually call it the Washroom up here in Canada. All the American tourists are always like "What the heck is a washroom?! " It all depends, other things we call it are: The John, the can, and some names I can't say on here.
