RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted June 23, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2021 Yet another US cartoon where the joke needs re-writing to work in British English.

RMweb Gold chris p bacon Posted June 23, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) In 1999 I did a bit of a tour of the USA and was on a coach for part of it. At one stop a passenger called 'Mike' from Derby asked the guide where the Lavatory was. She went into a great explanation about why the word was incorrect as it came from the French word 'Lavage' which is 'to wash' Mike looked at her and said "so if its not a lav what do you call it" she replied "a restroom" he looked straight at her and said "well luv, I'm going for a p1ss not a rest but I was being polite" Edited June 23, 2021 by chris p bacon Incorrect wording used 7 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly because at one time the toilet (after it moved indoors) was in the bathroom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Melrose Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 There are houses in the US for sale advertised with a half bathroom. The mind boggles . . . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted June 23, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 23, 2021 It's not a euphemism (any more than any of the terms are) but simply the American term for the room containing the water closet, I think perhaps more in a private house, where restroom is used for a public lavatory, such as in a restaurant. If I'm in someone elses' house, I'd say "can I use the loo?" or being a bit old-fashioned, "is it in the usual place" (i.e. top of the stairs). If I'm in a restaurant, pub, etc., I'd say "scuse me, where's the gents?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
