"Kybo" vs Port-a-Potty

[ISUcyclones11]

Apparently I've lived my entire life thinking that "kybo" was common slang to describe a port-a-potty. It seems to be a local Iowa term.

Have never called it anything else and I grew up calling them "kybos"

Used the term on a teams call at work today and not a single other person on that call knew what I was saying.

Did anyone else learn this term as a kid?

Kybo was what knew it as first and then Porta Potty later

All I know being down wind when they were cleaning them Sunday morning was not pleasant.

I dont think I had heard it called a Kybo until recently, maybe in last decade or so probably from Youtube or something.

To be fair there are many slangs for it all can be correct.

I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids. I never heard the term kybo until college, now it's the only way I refer to them.

I always called it "The Last Resort"!!!

Raised in various towns in western Iowa until middle school, when we moved to Indianola, and people there called it a Kybo. Never understood why.

Port-a-potty is what I’d call them and grew up calling the. I’ve also heard port-a-john and would know what you’re talking about if you said that. Never heard of a kybo.

I had never heard the term kybo until the Cy-Hawk game at my tailgate. One of the guys I have know for over 30 years referred to the port-a-potty as a kybo. I didn't ask for a clarification. Just figured it was a brand name with which I was not familiar. Now, I see this. Funny how things like this pop up from time to time! This is my new thing I learned today.
