Talk:Urinal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sorry i dont know where to put this, never used wikipedia before, but... Could someone add a section on how to avoid backsplash/splashing when using a urinal? this is a very common problem and that info would probably be more useful than 95% of the other stuff on this page... Thanks :)
What exactly is meant by "regular people?" I believe it would be less offensive to disabled and short people to simply say "most people" or "most adults." Fledchen 01:37, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure this should even be a page - it doesn't seem it'll ever be more than a dictionary definition - but I had to rewrite it, since the previous version made it sound like you stand in a urinal to use it! - DavidWBrooks 18:21, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Is the bit about George Michael really relevant to this page? The connection with urinals is extremely tennuous. Thryduulf 08:56, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I think it is, he notably spoofed on his arrest/incident in one of his videos by mirror ball tiling urinals. ALKIVAR™ 17:21, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Anyone know the history or inventor of the urinal?

[edit] Pronounce it
How do the British pronounce Urinal?
yoo RYE nil or YOO ri nil?
- It all depends on what your accent actually is (Britain has as many (if not more) different accents as the US does), but the most common pronunciation I've heard is you RYE nal, although I have heard YUR in al this is noticably different to "normal".
- see also Regional accents of English speakers. Thryduulf 15:05, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
yu-ruy-NIL (in my standard-ish english) you-IIII-nul (in scourse, perhaps) ya-reyn-ILL (in wessex?)
[edit] Marcel Duchamp: Fountain
The following link in the main article was dead and has been removed: "Marcel Duchamp: Fountain (about his 'found art' which is a signed urinal)"
The following two URIs seem to be close to the original target of the link, I don't think either one is sufficiently on-topic or intersting to be included in the article, though.

- Wikipedia has now it's own page for Fountain (Duchamp). Added that to the Curiosities section with reference link to BBC News. Talamus 11:00, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ice
Why was the part about ice in urinals removed? It is relevant as it's fairly common practice. Turboduded 21:13, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Why I can't do a dirt in there? BoratSagdiyev 00:04, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Weird…
There is something about "strawberry flavoured urinal cake" and the link on strawberry goes to an article on "shortcake". This makes no sense.

[edit] How do you Use one?
I know, it's pathetic. But how do you use a urinal? Like how do you go about it? 66.252.38.94 01:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Dirk
OK, I'll bite on this one.
- Approach an unoccupied urinal with confidence.
- Open the fly of your pants.
- Remove your penis.
- Aim penis into urinal.
- Urinate. [experiment with angles until you find one that doesn't splash you.]
- Replace your penis in your pants.
- Re-Fasten your fly carefully.
- Flush.
- Wash & Dry your hands.
- Go about your day.

[edit] Pic
I think we should have a pic of how to use a urinal. Like of a guy using one or something. Cause I've never used one. (Kinda shy) And when I do use one I dont wanna look like an idot.

[edit] "female-bodied people"
Since I've already reverted this once and I don't want to start an edit war, User:Ftmichael has edited the external links from "women" to "female-bodied people." I'm thinking that we should leave it the way it was... Moogle10000 00:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
