Anyone know Indonesian?
What the heck does "Kamar kecil" mean?

2. It's been bugging me since I saw it off a Frontier Airlines
a couple of years ago.

It's funny sounding too.

4. I bet you not. I have a question in and will respond.
And why would the word 'toilet' be there?

I don't know what you're talking about....

I don't know about you, but when I see a dictionary entry that says "x" means "such and such" -- I kinda take it seriously....

6. Okay, sorry if I offended you.
But the o.p. sounded like it was a bad thing. I have seen those words, have been to Indo, but don't know what they mean as I've indicated. And am trying to find out.

7. Chookie, if I don't do this now, I won't.
You are correct. That Indo expression has to do w/a toilet.
I didn't mean to question you and am sorry if you were offended.
My experiences in Bali dealt with pictures on doors vs. words. It's very user friendly over there! But I was suspicious, and I'm sorry for that.

8. It means 'small room' and toilet would apply.

"Kamar mandi"' means bathroom, says my pal in Indo.

Edit for clarity.
