Because if we say "spade" we will get accused of being "racist".

In early America there were no public toilets. Cities created toilets (usually beneath or beside a police station) for public convenience and called them Comfort Stations. After some time passed, people would use them to freshen up and make their call to nature and the term evolved to Rest Room because shoppers could do their thing, put down their packages and give their feet a rest. All this was when people walked from store to store and carried their purchases. The term "rest room".

just call it toilet, lavatory, can, defacation cubicle, evacuation chamber............ anything but "comfort station" or "rest room".
if you need a toilet, dont ask for the bathroom, pleeeease......and dont mention powdering your nose.

in modern uk there are practically no public toilets anymore. they got so full up of gay cruisers most of 'em were finally closed down.
so if you need a comfort room/ rest station/ bathroom or whatever, forget it

You sound like a dweeb when you say "urinate" or "defecate" or "eliminate".

One thing you won't see in America is having to pay to use a "toilet." You should be more concerned about that.

The meaning can change because of context.
Such as, "Ain't that a pisser?" 😛
