porta-potty

Portable plastic restroom

A porta-potty is a portable toilet—a self-contained plastic unit that can be moved from place to place, commonly seen at construction sites, outdoor festivals, and public events.

The name combines portable with potty, the childish word for toilet.

Also spelled porta-john, port-a-potty, or similar variations: The line for the porta-potties stretched halfway across the festival grounds.
