This chair in the toilets looks like a throne: but the throne has another meaning:................................
As to why the word throne acquired this meaning, there is a theory. Back in the European Middle Ages it was only the powerful rulers of an area who had what we today would consider toilets. There was an isolated room in the castle where only the master of the premises had access. Since this treatment was fit only for a king (or someone who wielded power that resembled that of a king), the seat where the person was allowed to sit was compared to a throne, where only one person was allowed to sit as well. Hence the association.It´s just a humourous way to refer to the toilet, giving the idea that the person there is doing something important, when in fact he is most
probably not.
