I've heard chamber pots referred to as "thunder pots" which seems oddly appropriate for Orlanthi!

Mind you, I doubt that except in certain cities would they use chamber pots much. I'd think a lean-to over a pit in the ground, near but down-wind from the stead would be about right in most cases. As to what they call that, I would guess they'd have nearly as many euphamisms as we do! I kind of like "going to visit Eurmal" for heading out there though.
