In the context of shooting the **** with family and friends, I've heard that they occasionally see people there taking ****s at the side of the house (and visible from the street) because when the plumbing doesn't work or whatever, that's where they go because it was standard back in Ethiopia, because I guess there was no privacy or shame around that stuff.
This was all in the context of explaining how difficult it is for new immigrants in a different society, and how certain areas of modern medicine may yield some misunderstandings about side effects. but everyone jumped on it because 2p2.
