Upon reading an expanation of the origin of #1 and # 2 when using the bathroom, I feel I have to respond. This old expression comes from Europe. Europeans have always tried to preserve on water. They have, for many years, used a short flush (#1) and a long (#2) when using the toilet. This practice is still being used. You can take that to the bank.
