kybo

A small wooden structure that serves in lieu of a commode, and is found behind houses in Arkansas, Alabama, and other places where people drawl. The kybo door has a crescent moon carved in it. The purpose of this moon is to provide access for flies. Inside a kybo is a bench with one or two holes in it. A kybo with a single hole in the bench is called a one-holer. A kybo with two holes in the bench is called a two-holer. Hanging on the wall inside the kybo is a Sears Roebuck catalog. Or maybe a big tin can full of corn cobs (from which arose the phrase, rough as a cob). A kybo may have a sheet metal chimney extending above the roof. This is called a fart muffler. Experienced users visit the kybo at mealtimes, when all the flies gather in the dining room.
