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.

Then how about horseradish.

And you never did say if you're OCD on top of Being Bipolar and having Aspergers and whatever else...

I'd be interested to find out.

oh Ok good, i'm glad you'd be interested, that being said My psychiatrist has already told me that I do no have OCD. do not have OCD. do not have OCD.

Then how about horseradish.

Well that's clearly because of the... ermm.... you know that... thing.... with the... I don't know.

Well if it has baithing facilities, then it's a bathroom.

If it doesn't, it's a washroom or toilet.

...if you want to get technical. *cough*

I'm surprised by how many people answered "bathroom"... It has no bath (generally)

i grew up hearing it called the bathroom. all the bathrooms in my house had toilets and bathtubs in them.

while i voted bathroom, i rarely say that. usually if i say anything at all, it will be much more graphic.

gonna go take a dump
gonna drop the cosby kids at the pool
gonna go drop a deuce
gonna go drop a load
gonna go visit the hershey highway
gonna take a leak
gonna go piss

you get the idea.

and why do all those have "take" in them when youre actually leaving something behind? ive always wondered about that.

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.
Lavatory is quite commonly used in general aviation.

that boggles my mind... brown turds. cosby kids. deuce? two. number two.

ejaculate? thats pretty off the wall for either of those terms. drop a load mebbe.

I still don't get the cosby kids things.

It hadn't occurred to me the deuce meant two. Makes sense...

Yeah it was drop a load that I was meaning with ejaculate.

check mine out

It includes 4+ years of being banned

Yep that's not too bad, I'm thinking of asking mods to reset mine to demonstrate to those that complain about it (or say that I'm just posting to increase it) that it means nothing to me.

It's a racist remark.

I forgot to mention The Head which is mainly on boats.
Water closet is a old term, but you still see it on Blueprints
when an architect draws them up.
