toilet bowl

Bathroom fixture receptacle

The toilet bowl is the curved, water-holding basin of a toilet, into which waste is deposited before flushing.

The term sometimes appears in figurative expressions suggesting worthlessness or failure: My career is going down the toilet bowl.

Distinguished from the tank, seat, and other components of the fixture.
