noun
Meaning of "cesspool" ("pozo"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A cesspool is a big underground hole or container where very dirty water and toilet waste are stored. It is usually buried under the ground and connected to pipes from toilets, sinks, or drains. The waste stays there until workers come with special trucks to clean it out. A cesspool smells very bad and is full of germs, so people should never play near one. It is used in places that do not have sewers to carry the dirty water away.
Even the garbage truck drove past the cesspool and whispered, "Respect."
When the cesspool truck came to clean it, even the truck sighed and said, "Here we go again."
The cesspool’s aroma was so famous that it should have had its own warning sign and theme song.
The cesspool was the only place where even the germs wore tiny nose plugs.
Long ago, many towns used a cesspool behind almost every house, which means whole neighborhoods smelled like one giant, stinky toilet cave.
A farmer found the cracked lid of a village cesspool and gagged. He peered into the cesspool; cesspool water, slimy and black, spun and rose. He lowered a rope and bucket into the cesspool, pulled up waste and a dead rat. Neighbors held their noses until he sealed the cesspool and sighed.
