I was born on a farm ... actually *born* on a farm ... lived there
until I was 5 when we moved to town ... have always had farm folk for
friends, neighbors, and relatives ... and it was always called an
outhouse. According to Roget's New Millennium Thesaurus (online),
synonyms are: bathroom, latrine, lavatory, outbuilding, privy,
washroom, water closet, WC ... which no one would use in this context.
Outhouse is it. The first time I heard of the phrase was in one of
Heinlein's books and he used "outhouse". I was quite surprised years
later to discover that anyone would refer to it as a **** house. Is
that the one you're thinking of? By the way, my family was the first
family to have an indoor bathroom in our rural neighborhood way back
when. Something about 5 daughters in the family. We also had the first
television. For whatever reason. <G>
