When is it a bathroom and when is it a restroom...and why the hell cant i say im going to the toilet!!!! Rest Room - when in a public place - store, restaurant etc I don't really know why you can't say the "T" word??? Edit: I guess it's polite to say "bathroom" rather than toilet. "Bathroom" suggests that you may just wish to wash your hands - "toilet" just states the obvious! |
Re: toilet, bathroom, restroom........
Restroom if it in a restaurant/bar/truckstop/service-station
Bathroom if it in a persons house (or has a bath) |

In England, I think it'd be like asking where the cistern was. Alternatively, it might be considered to not be very polite a word to use in conversation, as in "It is a receptacle for crap". |

I think that the "T Word", rather than referring to the room itself (as in England), is only used to describe the thing you sit on and I think is not entirely descriptive of the complete facilities.
