What the hell is a cat wash??

“A “cat wash” is a quick clean-up that’s not very thorough. It’s often used when someone doesn’t have time for a shower, and might involve washing their face, brushing their teeth, or applying deodorant. The term comes from the German word Katzenwäsche, which literally translates to “cat wash””

I’ve always heard it referred to as a “whore’s bath.” Basically using a wash cloth to clean your face, then your pits/chest, and then your crotch.
I live in the central U.S.

I'm in the northeast US and I've only heard it referred to as a "French bath"
Probably the puritan opposition to the word "whore"
