Discussion

AeC2009 Apr 3, 2009:
Potra, the text is misleading and, anyway, in Italian "sciacquone" IS what I suggested and nothing else...
Michael Korovkin Apr 3, 2009:
Certo che no! Ci mancherebbe. Ho detto che neanche l'Autore lo afferma... il che è un gran peccato: almeno sarebbe stato divertente!
potra Apr 2, 2009:
I never said that one should rinse their hair in the toilet bowl...
Michael Korovkin Apr 2, 2009:
to Porta: the author just lists the emergencies – without suggesting that one should rinse one's hair in the toilet bowl... I mean one went poohs and the flush tank is empty; one has one's hair soaped up and the tap ain't even dripping, etc...
potra Apr 2, 2009:
I think this refers to a water tank connected to the boiler as your example indicates someone shampooing their hair and needing water to rinse out)
sciacquone is usually associated with toilet flush, but maybe it is a general plumbing term.

agree Michael Korovkin : I re-read the text and concluded that you're right: the author just lists the emergencies – without suggesting that one rinses one's hair in the toilet bowl.
