You people say, "I'm in the toilet..." Eww. The bathroom (or restroom) is the room the toilet lives in. Water Closet is fine I guess, just sounds so antiquated

The toilet is the thing you poop in. When a Brit or Aussie says, "I"m in the toilet..." I just see someone standing in the pot trying to flush themselves down.
Also, watch out when you ask simple questions like, "Which team do you root for?" because apparently those perverts across the pond think that's a filthy question to ask.
At work someone asked me for a rubber. I sort of knew what they meant, but I had a condom in my travel bag so I gave it to them. The look of like shock was worth it.
Localization man... it's a bitch. Idioms take time to learn.
- reaperducer 6y agoYou people say, "I'm in the toilet..." A good number (most?) don't say that. They say, "I'm in the bathroom." A bathroom is the room with the bathtub, and since the plumbing is also there, there's usually a sink and toilet next to it. Variations include a shower instead of a bathtub, and sometimes a "water closet" — a small room that is part of the larger bathroom where the toilet is. This smaller room is sometimes called the "toilet room."
