portapotty

Temporary plastic restroom

A portapotty is a portable toilet—a self-contained plastic outhouse that can be moved to locations without plumbing.

Common at construction sites, outdoor festivals, and public events.

Also spelled porta-potty or porta potty, from a trademarked brand name that became generic.

The line for the portapotties stretched halfway across the fairgrounds.
