“Chemical toilet” is kind of reassuring. It sounds like, somewhere in that hot, odorous cesspool of evil, beneath that swarm of flies, there’s something scientific going on that’s preventing the miasma from killing you.
It doesn’t make a difference if it’s portable or stationary, I like to call mine ‘Jim’ that way if some nosy nellie wants to know where I’m going I just say, “Oh, to the Jim” and of course they get an entirely different impression.
Little known fact. If you’re unable to join the elite “Mile High Club”, you still have a fairly good chance of joining the lesser known “6 Inches Off the Ground Club”.
An outhouse suggests permanence, not portability to me; and chemical toilet feels like a much broader category. I went with chemical toilet, though because… I mean… chemical toilet, come on!
Portipotty for the little ones that you use camping and portajohn for the biguns that they use on job sites. SaniKan was the most creative name Ive run across though.
The Port-a-San guy was pretty cool in Woodstock, upbeat about a crappy job. He asked the camera crew what the movie was going to be called, they told him “PORT-A-SAN”
How about meh’s product-of-the-day for the last 5 days?

Portapotty. I had pretty much never heard of any of the others…
@ELUNO Agreed - that’s really the only one I’ve heard of. Maybe its a regional thing?

@DgracedCosmonut Portapotty is probably the brand name of the one that has the biggest market share…

Years of working ren faires means I call them Porto-privies.
Port-a-Let?
How about we call them Gotta Go To Go?
@PocketBrain I have to admit, I do like “Thunderbox.”
@PocketBrain Yep, this one. I worked for Waste Management for ten years and this was the official name.
Portable toilet. Porta-let.
Biffy = Bathroom In Forrest For You. Learned that one at camp.
Port-a-shiter, must be a regional thing.
If it is blue: the Turdis

@heartny I always preferred the She-wee

@MrGlass Interesting. A friend of mine swears by Freshette, which is somewhat similar

I have been calling it a kybo since 1993. They tell me it stands for ‘Keep Your Bowels Open.’
When I think of the big movable box, it’s a portapotty. When I think of a chemical toilet, it’s the thing we had on a boat as a kid.
Whatever you call it, don’t drink the blue water within.
I’m so proud to see Honey Bucket included on the list. Long live Cascadia… n toilets.
The “Let it Go” because I “Can’t hold it back anymore!”

I guess I’m the only old guy. Port-A-San from the movie Woodstock.
Port-A-San
@number51 I do remember that scene.
Jack-Shack! Alternatively, Whack-Shack!
I always refer to them as “the phone booths”.
@emt305 “Five hundred and sixty thousand people a day call my office on a porcelain telephone.”
We call them KYBOs at camp. Keep Your Bowels Open.
I call them ‘The Shit Shantytown’

@Jerrold NO!

The Shituation Room
In Indiana they are called Love Shacks, cause that is where you drop the bombs from your B-52.

“Earth”.
Oh wait… man made… Portajohn or Portapotty used interchangeably.
@DarkHuD lame
