In the US, it is plunger, or toilet plunger.

A plunger, but I like “plompel” a lot!

kritiper's avatar

A plunger or plumber’s helper. Also, plumber’s friend.

I guess we could be more poetic and call it a “shit stirrer”!

Ontstopper.
Ont = de.
Stopper (from (ver) stopt) = clogged.
‘Declogger’.

We went out to eat, for a mid day quick meal,
Who knows what germs and bugs infested my veal.

The food was so awful, just a simple noon luncheon
My gut emptied so much, the john need plungin’.

That’s a turd wrench Loli!

Or Trump stick/potty plow/Jersey turnpike/fillibuster/Thor’s hammer/Texas tool/Washington monument/hand of fatima.

Depending on where you’re from…and where you’re going.

It’s a plunger. There’s probably a German combination word that takes 50 or 60 letters to describe it.

Safe cracker, ugly stick, the squelcher, Tennessee toothpick, Chatanooga champagne flute, Buster Douglas, Ollivander’s

That is a regular old plunger. Every home should have two. One for the toilet and one for everything else.
