Something to eat while you are sitting I assume. ;) Like calling the kitchen the stove or the fridge.
I've been using the phrase 'off to the pisser' - everyone seems to understand that. |

Do we have WCs in Canada? I don't remember seeing a sign calling the loo that.
My mum asks where the Ladies is when she needs the loo/toilet/lavatory/netty/WC/bathroom/washroom/powder room. There are so many coy ways of asking where the room is, lets be bold and from now on call it the peeing and pooing room. |

Toilet actually used to mean the stuff you did when you got up, not just taking a crap.

Re: Canadian dialect
Running down the corridor shouting "gotta go, gotta go" seems to get the message across effectively. Even more so if you can run with your knees locked together or bent double clutching your belly.
You can say belly in Canada. |

Re: Canadian dialect
I try and get my Canadian HID to use British idioms without understanding their context. She called my mum a wanker, thinking it was a term of endearment and asked my very posh aunt if she had some bog roll. I've got a few more I working on in which I'm hoping to work into her keynote address at a UK conference later this year. :thumbup:
