Hi,
Could anyone tell me what "Port-a-Sans" mean in the following context?
"Sam , if you want the ladies, you'll do better fixing Port-a-Sans."
I have googled this term online, but can't find the exact meaning.
However, I found a website and it seemed like that this term refer to something in the toilet or bathroom.
The Trust for Governors Island - Visit the Island - Directions & Ferry Schedule
Here are two related sentences from the aforementioned website:
*Indoor bathrooms and port-a-sans are available for visitors to use once they arrive on Governors Island.
*Port-a-sans are located throughout the Island.
Does it refer to men's pee utensil? (btw, I don't know how to call that thing)
Thanks for your kind answer.
It's a brand name for a portable unisex restroom (toilet). There are several different companies that sell these units under different brand names, but they're basically all the same - a chemical flush toilet and a small sink with running water to wash your hands.

That's called a "urinal."
In the UK the dominant trade-name is Sanilav. At big outdoor meetings (rock festivals, marathons etc) they're in cubicles and called 'portaloos'.

A well-known British company providing these things is Portable Showers and Toilets - Hire Portable Toilets - Portaloo | Portaloo
