What is the bathroom called in the military?
Today the term ‘latrine’ is commonly used by the military. The Army and Air Force will apply it to any area where human waste is disposed of, of which a civilian normally refers to as a ‘bathroom’ or ‘toilet’.
Why do Marines call bathroom the head?
At the front of the ship was the figure head: a carved wooden figure or bust fitted on the bow of the ship. Since the wind was blowing from the rear to the front, the “head” (or front) of the ship was the best place for sailors to relieve themselves. So, when the shipmates went to the toilet, they went to the head.10
Do bidets spray poop everywhere?
Do bidets splash water and poop everywhere? Bidets do not splash everywhere. Most modern bidet toilet seats provide a very accurate and repeatable stream of pressurized water right where you need it. In addition, many bidet toilet seats provide an adjustable water nozzle so you can optimize the location of the jet.2

Does a bidet spray your balls?
Two weeks ago I traveled and used a bidet for the first time. All it does is spray water through your butte crack, so that it runs down your balls. Poop water all over your balls. It spreads the poop particles around the way a child might spread broccoli around his plate instead of eating it.26
Are bidets more sanitary?

How do you actually use a bidet?
To use a standalone bidet, you can sit or straddle the bidet facing the fixtures (you may need to take your pants off for this) or away from the fixtures (like a toilet). Make sure you position yourself over the jet, then turn the knobs to release hot or cold water depending on what you are most comfortable with.28
