1. 1

    A Portaloo is a toilet inside a small plastic cabin that can be moved — the kind you see at outdoor concerts, building sites, and festivals. It is a British trademark from the same company as Portakabin, built from portable and loo (British informal for toilet). In the UK, people often say Portaloo for any of those boxes, even when the brand is different, the way Americans say Porta-Potty. Though actually, it is still a trademark; a formal notice is more likely to say portable toilet. The word is a bit and informal. You would not use it for a normal bathroom in a house.
