flusher

flusher

A toilet. We're going to need a new flusher sooner than later with the way this one clogs at the slightest bit of toilet paper.

four-flusher

One who deceives or bluffs. The phrase comes from poker, in which a "four-flush" is a meaningless hand. (One needs five, not four, cards of the same suit in order to have a flush.) You can't believe a word that fool says—he's a real four-flusher.
Farlex Dictionary of Idioms.

flusher

n. a toilet. (Compared to an outhouse.) I hear they put in a flusher over at the Babbits’.

four-flusher

n. a cheater. Bruno is a lousy four-flusher, among other unpleasant things.
McGraw-Hill's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions

four-flusher

A fraud, a bluffer. To hold a four flush in poker is to have four cards of the same suit but not the fifth card that would make a potentially winning hand. Since four of a suit is worthless, a “four-flusher” is gambling that you'll believe her or she has the goods or the right stuff. The suggestion that a four-flusher is so full of crap that getting all of it down the toilet will take four pulls of the handle is an imaginative but incorrect derivation of the phrase.
