Restroom etiquette is the list of several unwritten rules applied in public toilets, such as "No grunting, even if it is a loch ness monster", and "Stay at least one urinal away from another user". These rules are especially apparent in reserved countries, such as Great Britain.
Andy: "Dude, some old guy was right next to me at the urinals, and there were loads more up the other end!"
Brian: "Yeah, I encountered a violation of the Restroom Etiquette, some guy was curling one out and making the most horrific noises I ever did hear!"

A humorous way of spelling "retarded." The implication is that the speaker knows that they're already anticipating being mocked for their own supposed 'retardedness', and wants to goad and provoke others into accusing them of being ignorant by changing the spelling to such an extent. Can also be used as a joke in the debate on just how offensive the word 'retarded' actually is.
Erica: Oh my fucking god, that is so retronded, I don't even know where to begin.
Brett: 'Retronded?' And you're the one going around accusing others of being retarded? Holy shit.

Altering or adding to a prior word or term term that must be further defined in the light of later developments or technical innovation.
Example: No one called "World War One" that until there was a "World War Two" with which to contrast it. The going term during the 1914-1918 war and up to 1939 was "The Great War."

Other employment of term retronym:
Telephone becomes "rotary-dial phone" to distinguish it from the push-button phones that became widespread in the 1970s and early 1980s (although rotary-dial phones still work if all you want to do is place a call and don't need to access features like querying a bank account balance).
Similarly, telephone also becomes "corded phone" to distinguish the traditional hard-wired telephone from those that are wireless in some way, such as cordless phones.
"Regular" coffee to distinguish it from decaffeinated coffee; some people say "caffeinated" coffee but strictly speaking this is a grammatical back-formation, not a retronym, because "to caffeinate" would mean to ADD caffeine to traditional coffee.
Note, though, that Coca-Cola is a "caffeinated" or "caffeine-containing" soft drink in its usual red-can form. Now that there is a Caffeine-Free Coca-Cola "caffeinated" could find use as a retronym for "the real thing."
"Manual" or "standard" or "stick" transmission on a car, none of which terms was necessary before automatic transmissions on cars became widespread and assumed to be the norm.
And, of course, "acoustic" guitar.

Get the retronym mug.This could commonly happen to anyone at any restroom. Normally your just trying to take care of some business but someone either standing next to you starts talking to you or they are in the next stall talking to you. It is extremely awkward for the recipient, they are normally caught off guard. This is that guy or girl who needs someone to talk them through this challenge they have.
So you restroom talkers leave your conversations to yourself!
