We don't have them.

Ok, pecktard, I concede that you have trouble grasping that sometimes two short words are combined to form one longer word that may or may not have anything to do with the original two short words.

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...

:rolleyes:

What else confuses you? Toilet paper? I mean, you don't wipe the toilet with it. Why don't we just call it butt-wipe for you? Would that make it less confusing for you?

How about peanuts? They're not made from peas and last I checked, peas didn't have genitalia.

Seriously, how do you get through life.

Oh right... you're just trolling again.

you just contradicted yourself.

if highway refers to all roads... by definition its a highway.

I should have been more clear, a highway pertains to any pathway or road or street or motorway or cycle path etc etc, But specifically that is a motorway, no one uses the term highway as very few people will talk that generally about what they are walking or driving on.


Sorry the galactic order of... (they've told me not to finish this sentence)

I get through life using logic, I'm sure it's confusing to some

Logically: Toilet paper is paper used on the toilet.
Peanuts: Are nuts in the shape of peas when out of the shell.
