Transcript of “More Terms for a Quick Wash”

We asked folks to tell us their terms for taking a bath without really taking a bath.

Yeah.

Just sort of.

Like a Navy shower or a GI shower.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Or just washing your possibles.

We got a tweet from someone named True Blue who said, we call it bathing up. Not an entire bath, just the important parts.

Also, leaving home without bathing and putting on clean clothes is called putting icing on gingerbread.

Icing on gingerbread.

I like that.

I do, too.

Okay.

I’m not quite sure.

Gingerbread’s fine by itself, right?

Yeah, yeah.

But if you’re putting the icing on, you’re putting on your clothes.

Yeah.

Okay.
