..... One such word is Sitzpinkler, a man who pees sitting down. Not only do the Germans have a word for it, they are remarkably more proficient at it than most other nationalities.
Recently, UK-based pollster YouGov published the results of a 13-country survey of men’s urinating preferences. This map shows the eight countries surveyed in Europe — the others were Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Singapore, and Australia. Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%). Add those who do so “most times” (22%), and you get the result shown on the map: nearly two-thirds are Sitzpinkler (without final “s”: the word is both singular and plural).
Sitzpinkler statistics That puts German men well ahead of their second-placed counterparts in Sweden, where only 22% of men sit down “every time.” More Swedish men sit down “most times” (28%). Danish men place third overall (44%), ahead of Australians (39%) and Canadians (35%). The streams of French (35%) and Italian (34%) men almost cross, but despite the overall closeness of the result, a considerably larger share of French men are Sitzpinkler of the “every time” variety (19% vs. 13% in Italy). Dangling at the bottom of the European league are Poland (27%) and the UK (24%), with only 10% of Polish men and 9% of British blokes sitting down “every time.”
The U.S. is on the lower end of the scale: only 10% of American men sit down to pee “every time,” with an additional 13% “most times.” Still, this is not as low as Mexico or Singapore, where 6% and 5% of men respectively sit down to pee “every time.”

Don’t even lift the kilt.
This explains a lot.
I was in Munich in the early ‘90s and there was a campaign to get men to sit. They had little signs and stickers here and there that said “We’ll sit it out!”. As others have pointed out, sitzpinkler isn’t a compliment.

“men really make a mess of bathrooms.”
What? Let’s talk about the multiple bottles of hair and skin products dripping all over the shower, makeup powder all over the counter, mirrors coated in hair spray….
Real men hit their targets every time, madame.

I don’t know and I’m not gonna find out.
After I first got my prosthetic leg it was a personal triumph for me to urinate standing up again after a few months of not being able to do so.
I used a public toilet in France with a hole in the ground with treads either side. If one wanted a sit-down toilet....had to pay.
That's why they love tapas - fill the bowl w/sangria and arranges the plates around the side.
I think my wife would be disgusted if she were to find out I was a squatter. Anyway, my aim is true.
Remember Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry is taking a leak and a splash hits a religious picture........it was funny.
