Johnhouse

Johnhouse
 

Is it something like a logs cabin?

It's a new word for me.

help will be appreciated.:)

Where did you see this? Do you have some context?
I've never heard it before.

John's house = la casa de John

It is very popular to call the bathroom, or toilet (el baño, o el váter) the john (in England, the equivalent is the loo). John, in England, is a word used for any male, kind of like bloke.

The first thing that came to my mind was.......loo, bathroom, toilet, etc.

:cool:

I agree with you Elaina. Though, generally we just call it the john and not the johnhouse.

It's "log cabin" without the s.

I agree with the others. "johnhouse" doesn't mean anything.

John is a first name, john (not capitalized) can mean bathroom or a prostitute's customer. Also, John House was a 19th century US congressman. If you give use some more context we can help more.

Maybe
 

Maybe it's a combination!

JOHN + OUTHOUSE = JOHNHOUSE :D

Ok, I'd found it.
It`s an outside toylet.

The phrase is:
" One of the first tasks I set about was the digging of a new latrine pit closer to the cabin, and the moving and roofing of the johnhouse itself."

Thanks to all, mates!

An outside toilet is called an outhouse.

Interesting, is that actually in a book or an actual printed piece of literature?

Ha Ha!

You got it!

I'd copied from a book I'm reading right now... "May, Julian - Galactic Milieu 1 - Jack the Bodiless"
