In 1932 an Irish women by the name of Angie Finkus Caught her husband John cheating on her when she went to the bathroom and saw him with her sister having sex. In despite of them both she told everyone to call the rest room the John being the place of waist and stink. It caught on and now everywhere in America and around the world there is still someone who calls the bathroom "The John"
