bécosse

created by melodrame

(idea) by melodrame (4.2 y) (print)   ?   (I like it!) Fri Oct 20 2000 at 16:21:12

Bécosse is derived from the English word "Back-House", which is an outhouse.

It's a slang term used by the Québecois. Today it is used in lieu of washroom. It is the equivalent of "Can" in English slang.

Example:

Il faut que j'aille au bécosse.
I must go to the can.
