Examples

“I don't do anything for them. Vikki does everything—bath-shath, breakfast, potty, dropping, fetching. He's the one who goes for Open⟳ Day, sports, dramatics, all that nonsense. Where do I have⟳ the time?”

“The shower did have⟳ its day. When it was too rough to take⟳ a proper shower, I took a ‘shath’, or a ‘bower’. Take⟳ your pick⟳. Anyway, the shower did extremely well while I sat in the bath as the force⟳ was so little it was more controllable and I was scrunched up, so I was easier to soak⟳.”

“The bathroom has a small tub and no shower, just a smooth hose attached to the faucet and hanging limply downward, a neck bent in defeat⟳. “You don't have⟳ a shower,” I say⟳, walking back out and feeling the sudden intimacy of being in his space. It's all so quintessentially him: sparse furniture other than floor-to-ceiling shelves packed with books. Elliot watches me as I lean⟳ against the hallway wall. The space is tiny, and he seems to fill⟳ it with his height and the solid width of his chest. “I don't know⟳ if I could handle⟳ only having a bathtub,” I babble. “I call⟳ it a shath,” he says. “That sounds dirty.””

““Do both. Like⟳ when I can't decide⟳ between a bath or a shower, I call⟳ it a "shath."””

“I hopped into the shower bath (shath?) and enjoyed some momentary relief as the warm water seemed to help⟳.”

“Rad, there's a shower that is also a bath. A bower. A shath. Whatever it's called, I can't wait⟳ to use⟳ it.”
