Keeping with the "theme",here's another gem of an idea(lifted from another site):

"in a new issue of Big Builder , a builders magazine for large home builders ,there is a story...
Shea a big builder, Calif. based, has come up with plans for generation "Y" ers....not much different in my view...but a little bigger more open family areas and smaller bedrooms..."thats what Y-ers want"...then they decided to make a secret project and come up with verbs for rooms instead of names....LOL..

the plan shown , has rooms called out like this ( I`ll let you figure out what they are):
park
work/sleep
dine,
cook,
arrive,
greet,
chat,
watch,
shade,
clean,
dream,
splash,
sleep.

nothing called out on the "powder room" which I expected to be "Chit"...lol

THIS is going to sell more homes??

they say in the article:" we have names for these rooms, the great room, tthe dining room, etc, but thats not how this generation seems to be living their their homes. Thats when we came up with the verbs for the rooms
"
