After deciding on its new, spiffy, up-to-date public bathrooms for city parks and public areas ...

... the Philadelphia Department of Public Health must have known Philadelphians wouldn’t take too kindly to the city calling its new public restrooms "Portland Loos," even though that is their actual name.

So last Friday, the department put out an online “Potty Poll” asking the public to help pick a Philly-related name for the six stand-alone bathrooms that will be part of its pilot public restroom project.

Though the city’s poll only offered three predetermined names for people to vote on — “Phlush,” “Philly Loo,” or “Philly Public Restroom” — Philadelphians were more than happy to flush out their own creative ideas on Twitter. There were very few stinkers among the suggestions.

“Porta Jawn” received an especially high number of entries, along with other punny names like Philly Jawn and Jawnny on the Spot.

4. Somehow I don't think that would fly

In Pittsburgh we mainly call them "Porta-Johns" but that's pretty much what everyone else calls them.

Only in Philly would they say "Jawns" instead of "Johns," or "wudduh" instead of "water".
