Ours is the Loo, Our grandchildren call it the toilet,generally it’s can I use your toilet nannie, when I was growing up my grandparents called it the lavatory and it was down the garden, it was one of my earliest memories I was around 4

My mum always used to say "I'm just popping outside" even though it was nearly 50 years since we'd had an outside toilet! She would then proceed up the stairs to the bathroom.....grin

I would never have been allowed to say toilet, far too coy and euphemistic - though lavatory (which was allowed) is also a euphemism, meaning a place for washing. I’ve settled on loo as a way of avoiding either.
