- For Teachers How much it is common? Do Americans understand
what it means? This is very common in UK and Raymott is correct
It's not a word I'm familiar with, and I'm a lifelong American
from the Midwest. I've never heard this either. Is it common in
the UK? A "bog" is a marshy place you grow cranberries. Is it a
toilet in the UK? In Australia? I'm not a teacher, but I write
for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but
I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English. 'The
bog(s)' was a common word for the lavatories among boys when I
was at school in the fifties and sixties; bogroll was provided,
if one was lucky. It was still being used by schoolboys in the
nineties; I don't know if it is common today. Context is
