Definder - what does the word mean?

What is jitney?

I grew up from preteen to adult in an all-girls school. while assigned to a unit (small dorm with approx. 20 single rooms about 10"x12" each) during any type of lock down or every night the doors were all locked in. Anytime during this if we had to relieve ourselves, each room had a pot/bucket with a lid aka: Jitney. some other words were all inappropriately spoken to describe it.

It never failed when I was put in lock up, I always had to use the "Jitney" at least once before the doors were unlocked again.

Jitney lifestyle is not to be confused with farming or farmers. Jitney dwellers are commonly seen among aging rural families. Jitney's have more in common with White Trash, Hillbillies, Crackers and Rednecks. Jitney's are the bombed out shells of once aspiring northeastern families. Many Jitney families once had dignity; such dignity existed in prior generations where parents taught values, morals, and lessons of working hard and saving for the future. Such lessons of savings have been misinterpreted into collecting Jitney, hence the encompassing translation of jitney.

Usage

a) Look at that Jitney place!, How in the world can people live like that?
b) Julie is so Jitney! Look at that beat ass dress he's got on.
c) Man that store is filled with Jitney, who would buy a broke dick coat from that place.
d) This place is so Jitney, did you see all the shit laying in the entryway?
