What do you call the room with a toilet in it?

Yup.

Most people here call it the restroom.

My Poll disagrees with you.

The Library
Restroom

"The Library" also works, considering where we spend time reading... :biggrin:

Another good one! You're on a roll sir.

I think it would be even better when said in your 'proper' English accent, than in my Amurrikan one. As in "I shall retire to the Library" :awe:

Restroom

That will definitely keep my amused, particularly if I ever again use a toilet in America.

Well I'm not trying to and it will make no difference to my life if I do..

Have you been checked for OCD to add to the list of your other maladies? I've never seen anyone (other than TridenT) respond to EVERY post in a thread before.

I call it a bathroom at home.
When out, I call it the ladies room or the rest room

Ahh. Ta.

If in a home it's a bathroom. If it's a place of business or public area I'll ask for the restroom.

This. Restroom is the more proper name for it.

Also, 3/4 of my bathrooms at home have bath tubs/showers in them, so I find it valid.

FUCK YEA.

Is it? I've always thought Lavatory as the proper name, and I find restroom somewhat confusing, I don't go there for a rest...

British subjects should call it 'the Throne". :hmm:

I think lavatory is more old English. It hasn't been used in mainstream terms for quite some time here.

If you asked 10 random Americans where the lavatory was, I'd say at least 8 would look at you funny.
