Slippery Slope: Privy

LOL.

I love this forum. Tonight I am laughing at myself for not recognizing Johann Wolfgang von Goethe or his body of work.

When I searched him I came across the term "privy council" and, drawing on my law school appreciation for old words, I thought about the history of the word privy.

What does "privy" mean to you?

To me it means toilet. And in that moment I had a vision of Donald Trump trying to build a courthouse out of locker room talk.
