Heheh, I’d go with TheGoodReverend’s answer, but I think it sounds better as “Triangle Titty Room”…

Same as Ben. I’m 18 and I didn’t have a problem with it.

I’m 23 and I got it on the first try too.

I’m 31 and I got truss off the bat. I don’t think it’s that obscure.

I think “Trustees’ room” is probably referring to a room for meetings of a corporation’s Board of Trustees.

Truss is too obscure.

And what the heck is the “Trustee’s room”?

And the office boy looks about 40 yrs of age.

Rafter titty room?

Roof letters room

Truss is still in use, an ‘A-frame’ is a style of house.

Is ‘truss’ even in the vernacular anymore?

Most (young) people will be scratching their heads wondering how ‘A-frame’ fits.

My officemate suggested it was a ‘wooden triangle’.

…we’re dumb

I’d say it is actually Trustees’ Room (Trustees is plural)

I’ll bite. Trustee’s Room.
