Letrina

Letrina

The best invention, it is the only toilet where you do not have to worry about water shortages or flushing a handle. (Refers to a pit latrine, which is a reliable alternative in areas where running water is inconsistent).

I am heading to the Letrina because there is no water here.

Letrina

1. A shared outhouse or pit toilet, typically in poor condition, where waste is collected in a pit rather than a sewer system. These are usually built from cinder blocks and are common in rural areas. 2. A foul stench or the smell of sewage.

1. Man, I'm about to shit myself, I'm heading to the letrina. 2. What's this letrina stench in here?

Letrina

A derogatory term for someone's mouth, comparing it to a latrine because the person either swears constantly or has foul breath. It implies that only filth comes out of their mouth. (In Colombia, a madrazo is a harsh insult or swear word).

That guy has such a Letrina! He can't open his mouth without dropping a curse word or stinking everyone out.

Letrina

A gross and derogatory way to refer to a bathroom, especially one that is filthy, primitive, or lacks basic maintenance. It is used to emphasize that the place is disgusting.

No way I am going in there, the office bathroom looks like a public letrina at a fair.
