With the rapid development of the transportation industry, people's travel is becoming more and more convenient, and many people will choose to travel to various attractions with their families during the holidays. However, people who travel regularly will find that they are easy to face a problem, that is, the toilet signs in scenic spots are different, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women, and some tourists stand at the door and hesitate for half a day, and do not know which door to enter.
Speaking of scenic toilets, perhaps many people will encounter such a scene, they are obviously in a hurry, looking for half a day, finally found the location of the toilet, did not think is, but encountered a problem, only to see that the toilet door did not write anything, only painted a giraffe, and an elephant, let people rush to stomp their feet. And many tourists who don't understand, it will be easy to get it wrong.
What does this painting mean?
We all know that under normal circumstances, the sign of the toilet door will clearly write male and female, so that people can see it clearly, even if it is not written by the man or woman, it will also draw a person wearing a skirt, and a person wearing pants, so that many people can understand. Because girls wear skirts, and boys generally wear pants.
So how do giraffes and elephants distinguish between them? Different people have different views on this issue.
For example, some people think that giraffes represent men because giraffes have long necks and are similar to some of the physiological structures of men, while elephants represent women because the elephants painted on the logo look petite and handsome. In fact, this statement can be found to be unreasonable as long as you think about it a little, but in the case of anxiety, it is easy to make a mistake in judgment.
So, what should the correct explanation be? In fact, the answer is very simple, and many people can understand it as soon as they are prompted.
The correct way to say that elephants represent males because elephants have stronger limbs. Although the elephant painted on the logo is not at all strong, it is very strong in nature. The giraffe represents women, because the giraffe has slender limbs and symbolizes femininity, so it is most appropriate to use it to represent women.
In addition to this, there is also a saying that the nose of an elephant can spray water, while giraffes do not have this characteristic, so giraffes represent women.
In fact, these two statements are very close, if you really want to find, it is easy to find a number of different points out. But for anxious tourists, who has the time to guess, in case they guess the wrong answer and enter the wrong door, then it is embarrassing to be themselves.
In addition to giraffes and elephants, there are various "magical" signs in the scenic area. For example, some toilet doors are painted with pipes and high heels, which is also easy to understand, pipes represent men, high heels represent women, or some directly paint cartoon male and female images on the door, so that people can distinguish at a glance.
However, the signs that come next may not be imagined at all if they are not very knowledgeable about other knowledge!
For example, some scenic spots have neither writing nor drawing any graphics on the door, but written two letters, one of which has XX written on the door and XY on the other door, making many people confused, what do these two letters mean?
Some people think that it should be an abbreviation of some commonly used Chinese characters, thinking that XX represents thank you, or rest, while XY represents the need, but this is completely donkey lips against the horse's mouth, even if you guess for half a day, you can't guess any result at all.
The real solution is to use biological knowledge to solve the problem. In biology, XX represents women and XY represents men, and the reason is because of the way genetics is expressed. So when you say this, can you easily understand it? After learning the truth, many tourists jokingly said that if they did not understand biology, they could not find the right toilet.
In addition, in some places, the toilet is more direct, directly abbreviated into a letter, such as B and G, B is the abbreviation of boy, representing male, G is the abbreviation of girl, representing female. This is an easy thing for young people to identify, but one thing to consider is that there are not only young people in the scenic area, but also the elderly and children.
Now, returning to the issue of toilet signs, what is the most suitable and easily recognizable sign?
In fact, the best logo is the kind that can be recognized at a glance and is suitable for all tourists, and those more abstract, spoof, or full of "artistic" designs may be more special in the eyes of some people, but if they are really used, they will still bring trouble to people's lives.
"Elephants and Giraffes, B and G, XX and XY", how do these toilet signs distinguish between men and women?
