Definition

A hilariously mangled Anglo-German translation for a bathroom, where 'hose' supposedly references the toilet and 'housen' sounds vaguely Germanic. British people definitely say this to confuse tourists.

Example Usage

Mate, I'm off to the Hosen-Housen for a quick slash before we head out.
