Talk:Bidet

I think it's almost ready for VFH. JFC 00:04. Jun 9

BBC has an article on it. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26851005

It asks you to vote if you use it a) for its intended purpose, b) for another purpose or c) not use it. I tried to vote "a" and look what happened.
An invalid action? Leverage (talk) 18:46, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps because they were able to trace your IP they know that you are an Uncyclopedian, and so probably normally attempt to perform invalid actions with bidets such as attempting to push fully formed noobs down the plughole. Can this pic be squeezed into the article? MrN 19:21. Jul 8

Please don't laugh—I'm not gonna lie—but as a Brit I have always thought that they were multi-purpose but particularly tailored for the feet until I read this article. As a child when I went on holidays to the continent with my family, my dad must have first proposed this lie to me. I have since always believed that a foot-washer is a bare necessity (not a bare bottom) that the Brits should not put up without while they are seen as necessary to the Continent. I now realise in disgust that that time I requested to my parents we have a bidet in the bathroom, I was quite explicitly asking for a water-cannon buggering. Very good article by the way.--Everyotherusernamewastaken(get dtf) 00:04, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Check out the BBC link above. Seems that Italians basically use it just as you suspected, for a bit of everything. --Leverage (talk) 13:02, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes I had looked at that article, but nonetheless I have been ignorant of its primary use, and was thinking that an exaggerated version of what I said could be put in the article somewhere as a testimony by the 17th Earl of Sandwich.--Everyotherusernamewastaken(get dtf) 23:45, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
