What is a dunny?

"Dunny" is a slang term, primarily used in Australia and New Zealand, for an outdoor toilet. It's a shortened form of "dunlop", which was a brand of toilet manufactured in the early 20th century.

Here are some other ways "dunny" is used:

* A simple toilet: Even if it's not outside, it can be used to refer to any basic toilet.

* A shed: Sometimes, "dunny" is used to refer to a small outbuilding or shed.

* A place of isolation: Due to its association with outdoor toilets, "dunny" can be used humorously to describe a place that's secluded or remote.

So, when someone in Australia or New Zealand talks about the "dunny", you'll know they're referring to the bathroom, or at least the toilet!
