No. That’s the French term. The English translated it as “lounge” at the time.
The French term refers it as a “long chair” from what recall from my primordial French class 40 years ago.

I’ve seen that done at FRA – or at any rate they have Y-shaped jetways where everybody is still crammed into the same tube as they leave the gate and it only forks immediately before reaching the aircraft. It’s better than being funneled through first class on the way to the rabble seats but not a huge improvement overall IMHO.
As a frequent peeer, I’ve considered this for long flights. I once had to learn how to insert a catheter; turned out way easier than I expected. Last flight I was on from India, ~12hrs non-stop, had to get up 5 times to drain the lizard. Luckily only 1 person to climb over; would’ve really sucked if I was against the window.
Biggest problem would be storage volume. Probably need a bag I can store under the seat. Something discreet and puncture resistant. With a quick disconnect for the hose.
Glad I don’t need to fly anymore.

Legroom but huffing fart gas
Legroom but huffing fart gas and much slimmer survival chances in event of a rushed evacuation
