R18 section name?

Juggernaut

A play on the word 'jug' and perhaps an appropriate label regardless of the thing's success. Apropos if it succeeds, sarcastic if it bombs.

;)

DeVern

With a behemoth you squat on.

"Look Ma.............my knees are higher than my elbows!"

Seriously, they're going for the ergo's I chose when I purchased a low (non-chair height) toilet.
 
Don't know what they sound like but - Thunderhead.

If they are well muffled then you could call it the Distant Thunderhead:)
