naughty word: TOILET

category: euphemisms
scribble tags:

US people appear to avoid using this word.  When in restaurants they use the phrase  ’Rest rooms’.  Descriptions of homes for sale may include 1.5 ‘bathrooms’.  The 0.5 bathroom is one without a bath (uh?!) or a shower.  It appears to mean a room with a sink and a toilet.  Even toilet paper is labeled ‘Bathroom’ tissue. 

Bathroom Tissue

‘toilet humour’ exists in the US.  I’m not sure if it is known or referred to by this category.  

TOILET TOILET TOILET!

That felt good,  that felt NAUGHTY.  Teee heeee…
