Livre d'Or

And I totally concur that deriving meaning from euphemisms like beit hakise is just silly and Rafi should know better.

Also the mishnah there is truly amazing and I had not learned that one but for heaven's sake, it was called "the dignity toilet," and the reason it was called the dignity toilet was because it had a door that closed, and it was in the mikdash, that all screams this is a special, unusual toilet. Ordinary people have to shit communally like Romans, that's in Berakhot, about how much of yourself you have to expose while pooing and whether or not you should have conversations. (Sorry. It bugs me when people use mishnahs to show that Jewish culture was soooo much better than Roman culture.)
