minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•6 months ago Rather amazingly, set into its outside wall on the street is a pissoir. The “Herren WC” sign is a little misleading, as there is neither WATER nor a CLOSET." How wonderful!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•6 months agoThis is actually misinformation and misleading. The sign says like on the picture. My link was for the illustration.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•6 months agoI don’t know what “Herren” means, but WC stands for water closet. It sounds to me like there isn’t any running water or stalls.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•6 months agoHerren means “men”. “WC” means toilets, the place, in this case. I get the pun but it’s not the best one. The water is accessible on the front by the way.
