I'm English and I say toilet. Well I say that if someone asks but if I'm in a pub or restraunt and need to go I just say 'back in five.' Everyone knows what that means, no need to explain usuallly!!

why cant they just call a spade a spade?
To go back to the original post in thread, different areas of the world call items by different names. For example, I can say toilet just fine, but it my household we have always called it the bathroom, whether it had a bath or not. Don't ask why, my whole area does it, its just the culture.

The only Americans that I know of that can't say toilet are the ones that can't speak. You know - the dumb ones. I have no idea of the population of America but I guess the number of dumb Americans that can't say toilet must be in the region of 255 million? 😀😀

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 should've given them their own rooms ...

if you're going to the toilet only to change your sanitary napkin, do you still say "toilet"?
