A porcelain throne for the horizontal, where you marinate in your own warmth and excellent ideas.
means A large open container, usually built into a bathroom, that you fill with water and sit or lie in to wash yourself.
from A plain compound of "bath" and "tub." "Bath" descends from Old English bæth, the act or place of bathing, kin to German Bad and to the root behind "bake" and "warm" — heat applied to a body. "Tub" is a humbler word, a late Middle English borrowing for a broad open vessel, probably from Middle Dutch or Middle Low German tubbe. So the word is literally a tub for your bath — and the phrase "bathtub" only really settled in once plumbing pulled the once-portable tub indoors and bolted it to the floor.
