GUEST,Displaced Camelotian BS: Translation from the British (68* d) RE: BS: Translation from the British 27 Jul 04


Here's a subtle difference. Unlike in Britain, in America, "toilet" rarely refers to a lavatory. It refers instead to the porcelain "toilet commode" inside.

When I had to enquire for a rest room in England by saying, "Have you a toilet?" I could feel myself blush. It was just too graphic!
