Why do we call the toilet number 100? Seda Kaya explained, Prometheus Media

Yesterday was World Toilet Day.
Now everything has its day.
kenev day.
Toilet day.
Or Def-i Hacet Day.
Then what about the shitty story?

Man has been searching for a place for his excretory system since the beginning of his existence.
Scientists, architects and intellectuals have struggled for years.
Whatever we do, whatever we do, let us not do anything to the mountains and stones.
Finally they found it.
the bathroom.
It has faux fur
It has Turkish style.
And a urinal.
Whether standing.
Whether he was sitting.
Choose, like, buy.
We have given different names to the toilet.
bathroom.
Kenev.
treasury.
Ablution room.
the bathroom.
And the number is one hundred.
We understood everything.
What does this number one hundred have to do with it?
Why toilet number 100?
Let’s take a look at the history of the toilet.

After thousands of years of the first humans meeting their needs among the bushes like animals, the Sumerians discovered how to perform prayer while sitting.

Then the Egyptians and those residing in India.
After they had met their needs, they threw whatever fell into the pot.

Then the ancient civilizations of Anatolia and ancient Greece developed this system.
The waste falls into the hole in which they sit, and is carried away by the water flowing under the hole.
These latrines still exist in the city of Ephesus in Selcuk.

Rome brought this solution to Europe. However, when the darkness of the Middle Ages restricted science and art, all hell broke loose.

In medieval Europe, people would defecate on benches and then throw their feces out the window into the street.

think about it.
As you walk on the road, dirt falls on you from the sky.

For this reason, nobles walked through the streets with large umbrellas.
This incident has become such a big problem in cities that those who make the mistake of going out at night shout, “Watch your hands!” throughout the march to prevent a seat being emptied over their heads. He had to shout, “Watch what you carry!”

But the Scots and French were more polite than the English.
As the Scots poured the chamber pot in the street, “Gardley’s toilet!” He screamed..

So “don’t come, be careful”
The French say “Gardez l’eau”

The more polite ones would take the potty into their hands after the challenge, look around the street before emptying it, and then politely shout: “Warning!” So “attention”

This is also why the French invented perfumes.
The word “Eau de Toilette” written on perfumes means “eau de toilette”.

The French would pour perfume on themselves after going to the toilet to avoid smelling it.
The Ottoman ambassador to Paris, the twenty-eighth Mehmed Çelebi, mentions in his memoirs that the French used perfume like water after every toilet.

However, the combination of unpleasant odors coming from the environment and perfume scents would create an unbearable environment.

As you know, there is an expression settled in our language about def-i hajet..
“to sew a feather”
He is also from France.

At the Palace of Versailles, servants would first sew a goose feather onto the dirt at the corners of the corridors. After a few days, they would grab the feather and throw the hardened stool out the window.

They shouted while throwing.
“alert!” Hence the expression “feather stitching”.
Muhammad Çelebi is the one who introduced it into our language.

Some clever entrepreneurs have produced hats with wide umbrellas because of the excrement spilled on these streets.

By wearing these hats, the rich were protected from the urine and feces that rained down from the sky.
I think this is the story of the fedora hat.
However, it is interesting.

At the same time, toilet paper was used in Arab societies and China.
Europe switched to toilet paper years later.
The toilets we use today are also relatively new.
In the early twentieth century, Europe saw these toilets, which we call modern, in operation. Let’s talk about the names of our toilets.

WC is the initials of “Water Closet” in English.
It means a bathroom.

The word toilet means “a small, enclosed space” in French.
We already know “Hella, Kenif, ablution area.”

So what does the number 100 do? This is exactly Turkish.
While the French give each hotel room a number, they put “00” on the toilet doors to avoid confusion.
So it is not numbered.
“No number” in French
However, the number 100 is pronounced the same way in French.

The bureaucrats and wealthy people who went to France during the Republic confused “00”, meaning “no number”, with “number cent”, meaning the number 100.

After their return to the country, they began calling the toilet number 100.
Here, a 100-year-old toilet suddenly became “number one hundred.”

“When the tongue suffers from diarrhea, words are paralyzed!”
