"We had a designated receptacle under the bed for such business."

Ah, you mean a gazzunda.

....

Indeed I do not. We called it a piss pot, pal. Other cultures may have had their own appelations, but we preferred our own picturesque demotic.

Incidentally, as I recall, our receptacle bore an azure crest of hippogriffs rampant surmounted by the legend: Ye Ancient Order of St George Gongfermour – a Tyneside branch of the Knights Templar famed for their pious devotion to the principles of domestic hygeine. This is why natives of Tyneside are known to this day as Geordies.

You can read more about this in Col. Killingworth-Jones' unpublished Popular Antiquities Of Northumbria, vol. 2, available for viewing at The Literary And Philosophical Society Of Newcastle Upon Tyne. (Speak the secret password "Pontifex" at the reception desk.)

I probably shouldn't be telling you this...
