A [[chamber pot]] is a portable toilet, meant for nocturnal use in the bedroom. It was common in many cultures before the advent of indoor plumbing and flushing toilets. | |||
"Chamber" is an older term for bedroom. The chamber pot is also known as a Jordan, a jerry, a guzunder, a po (possibly from French: pot de chambre), a potty pot, a potty, a thunder pot or a thunder mug. It was also known as a chamber utensil or bedroom ware. | |||
Chamber pots were used in ancient Greece at least since the 6th century BC and were known under different names: [[ἀμίς]] (amis), [[οὐράνη]] (ouranē) and [[οὐρητρίς]] (ourētris, from [[οὖρον]] - ouron, "urine"), [[σκωραμίς]] / (skōramis), [[χερνίβιον]] (chernibion). | |||
The introduction of indoor flush toilets started to displace chamber pots in the 19th century, but they remained common until the mid-20th century. The alternative to using the chamber pot was a long cold walk to the outhouse in the middle of the night. | |||
