I've never heard of it. I would imagine it's a roll of toilet paper though.

This is very common in UK and Raymott is correct

It's not a word I'm familiar with, and I'm a lifelong American from the Midwest.

I've never heard this either. Is it common in the UK? A "bog" is a marshy place you grow cranberries. Is it a toilet in the UK? In Australia?

'The bog(s)' was a common word for the lavatories among boys when I was at school in the fifties and sixties; bogroll was provided, if one was lucky. It was still being used by schoolboys in the nineties; I don't know if it is common today.

Hi. I have a question. I do not understand slang. Can you tell me what the word Kurin?
For example, in this sentence: nah just been kurin her. Please help.

Please create new topics for your questions.

Anyhow, there is no such word. Are you sure it wasn't "curing"?

We call the toilet 'the bog' in England.
Other expressions for toilet:

the khazi
the throne
the pan

how many others do you know...?
