"John" is slang for two primary things: a lavatory (toilet) and a prostitute's client.
Here's a breakdown of each meaning:
-
Lavatory (Toilet):
- "John" is a common euphemism for a toilet or restroom.
- It's considered a relatively mild and widely understood slang term.
- Example: "I need to visit the john."
-
Prostitute's Client:
- In this context, "John" refers to a male client of a prostitute.
- This usage is more specific and carries more negative connotations.
- Example: "The police arrested several johns during the raid."
In summary, the word "John" as slang can refer either to a toilet or, more negatively, to a client of a prostitute, depending on the context.
