I run at lunchtime at work. I pack them in my running bag. I wish more hotels had little bottles of liquid soap.

Tell us something.: "Tell us something" hits me a bit like someone asking me to tell a joke. I can always think of a hundred of them until someone asks me for one. You know how it is. Right now, I can't think of "something" to tell you. But I have to use at least 100 characters to inform you of that.

But surely there's a more creative term we could all agree on...
Might I suggest the Commode Abode?
Or perhaps the Sub-drain Domain.

Homeless shelters like them because some of their inhabitants need them badly.

I can't believe jbarter hasn't chimed in on this thread. He's our resident expert on small stuff. :twisted:

I was trying to avoid admitting that in Chez Barter it's known as Dad's study. :wink:

Wow, that's a blast from the past! I had that album on cassette tape.

Well, Lambsters, it looks like no one so far knows the under-the-bathroom-sink-cabinetty-thingum as a "small". I know I don't. Admittedly, we've seen only a limited number of respondents in this thread, but C&F is pretty populous, so you'd think that at least one of those who call it a "small" would have weighed in.

I think that rather than the other way around, you could be the one giving your acquaintance a funny look. But it wouldn't be nice, would it. :wink:

I have been poking around, looking for obscure definitions of the word "small" but I am not coming up with anything that would indicate a bathroom vanity might be called a "small" by anyone. However, to be complete, perhaps you could ask your neighbour what she might call a "large" so that we may get a more complete picture of her verbal processes.

Never heard of a small. I thought it was the vanity.

Everyone I work with who travels a lot makes sure to collect a fresh set every day, then we drop them off at the VA hospital volunteer office to give to the patients in rehabilitation programs. They have a clothes closet and are always needing toiletries and stuff.

There! THAT'S what I've been fishing around for in the murk between my ears: the vanity. Haven't had one in so long (part of the charm of living in...um...historic apartments :wink: ) that I'd forgotten the word; I grew up with it.
