A farmers bath is the term for taking a small tub of water and washing yourself with it and a rag. Its how people usually kept themselves clean historically before running water was a thing.

About the other stuff, look dude I’m not trying to get into an argument or debate you on semantics. You asked a question and I answered it honestly. Sorry if it sounded like I was talking down to you or insulted your intelligence. I hope that you maybe I helped you learn something interesting. Have a nice day.
