How would you dry your derrière?

Why do Europeans call it a water closet? That makes less sense than bathroom lol.

a reply to: grainofsand

I go to the pictures, not movies or film.

My toilet has a shower in it so I interchange.

Wanker is a fantastic word!
It can be used as a friendly banter term when taking the piss out of a mate, or an insult, or a descriptive term for personal activity.
It's a great word.

Nope I'm practical so understand having toilet + bidet would be unrealistic due to space constraints. I do however expect a bidet/toilet hybrid which performs both functions in one unit.

Those exist already.

asshat is different from asshole hence the two different words, I do rest on the toilet anytime i get to sit is considered rest, troll much?

I do it the same way the rest of you non-1%ers do, with the help of my personal assistant.

Wait....! Youre gonna have to explain what a bidet is to him...!!!

*Powder room: referring to ladies reapplying their makeup powder/w mirror
*Crapper: Named after John Crapper who invented/modified/created the modern day "toilet"/w bowl/flusher
*Lavatory: a place for "explosions"(?) *unclear about that one....
*John: see above about Mr. Crapper
*Loo: havent a clue what the hell that refers to
*Bathroom: place where 75% of toilets can be located in homes, where is found tubs and wash basins/showers
*Restroom: in many restaurants, clubs, large buildings...one can find couches or chairs to sit in as well in rooms for "toilets"
*Outhouses: because they are outside
*CAN: refers to toilet 'cause of the lid...like a can
*Potty: same reference as the "can" ie: "pot"

The one I like is the "water-closet". Its got water alright, but the closet part.....?

WC is before my time so i can't help, but I have seen it used on old 1960's films.

Well, when you and Grain leave you can come here and I would be proud to let you take a whiz in my restroom.

I suppose one would have to try to laugh if a "friend" were to remove urine from their bladder.

And you complain about our slang?

We shall see how the referenda goes, Augustus...

I'll have to come before Trump bans me though.

They help with the shake too.

Haha
Slang is different though, 'restroom' is a thing in itself these days...just curious, what do US folk call a place where you actually go for a rest, a toilet?
