I remember as a kid in my area this game was called Toilets.

If you got caught you were a toilet and had to stand with your arm out until someone pushed on it and said 'flush.'

I miss the toilet game haha

I think it's simply more a placeholder term for something people haven't found out enough about yet.

I get that it's a bit inappropriate to be flippant and make jokes but if I worried about this every time I saw a headline about it I'd die from my adrenal glands exploding and melting a hole through the back of my computer chair.

I don't wanna be reincarnated. Deep black annihilation plz

Agreed. Men are human beings. She may be smaller and less of a physical threat but she's also a grown ass adult who should have some basic decency.

I don't blame them. I can't imagine voluntarily getting brain surgery unless it was life or death.
