At least that's what it was when I was in Boy Scouts.


You've got it Pontiac.

I grew up in Wisconsin, which is basically Ontario lite on these sorts of issues.

One of my passports is Canadian (I am an international man of mystery).
Having visited the north and less developed parts of Canada I am familiar with the term.

Have you heard of Honey-buckets?

I've never heard of a thunderbox. But we have lots of honeybuckets in Alaska. (Not at my house, fortunately.)

I live in Colorado and I've never heard of it. However, the answers make this the funniest thread since the ban hammer dropped.

Never heard of that one.

You could put a honeybucket inside a thunderbox. In fact, I'd bet that's not unusual.

Thunderbox is Australian slang for toilet. The name comes from the "noises" involved. :)

In my neck of the woods, Honey Bucket is a fairly large porta-potty supply/servicing biz (kinda like ‘Ironman’ is to triatha... nevermind) ~ so in their case it has walls, w/ the thunderbox built in.

I have Aussie friends that use the term. So probably British that spread to the colonies.

Down here in Oz Thunderbox refers to a toilet (although an old fashioned saying). I think it's derived from old days when the toilet was out the back before sewerage/septic tanks were installed. The wooden box/seat was above the pan (the Thunderbox) which was collected from the "dunny guy" that used a laneway between the rear of houses to empty the "dunny pan". Anyone who has used a thunderbox during an Ozzie summer knows why it's called a thunderbox.

Anything else?
