So what do you call yours, Toilet, Loo, etc etc ( lighthearted post )

Loo. But I love bog.

When I was at boarding school we always visited the aunt!

Weirdly at my boarding school We talked about going to Wembley??

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.

It's the bog!

My mum always used to say "I'm just going to spend a penny".

Aren't there any families with Naval backgrounds who call it jthe Heads?

When I was at boarding school we always visited the aunt!

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.....

Toilet or loo.
We would never have been allowed to say "bog".
I might start saying it now, just because I can!
(Sorry Mum)

Nearly always loo. Sometimes I say I am just going for a wee. No one here ever says, ‘lavatory’ I don’t think they know that word.

Loo for us but the gc say "need the toilet" usually at the last minute! Mr manc says just going for a Jimmy (riddle). 4 year old usually says bathroom but the other day told his parents "I'm going for a Jimmy like grandpop"!

I think the majority say "Lavatory"
OoRoo

Sharon- I love that!
I say loo or toilet, maybe ladies when out and about.
Like others, I find that lavatory has nasty connotations.
I was at school in the 80s and it was bogs then too.
It seems to have spanned the generations. I'm pretty certain that the kids at my school say bogs too.

A lady I used to work with back in the '70's used to say "I'm just going to see if me hat's on straight"
I call it the loo or the bog.

Like grannysyb, the word toilet was forbidden. Lavatory at home, lavs at school (also quite nice girls’ grammar) but once I started work at the BBC the approved word was loo - and it still is. I still can’t abide the word toilet, which probably says more about me than is helpful.

Same as grannysyb.

Wasn't allowed to say toilet when was a child, had to be lavatory, now ask for loo at friends, and ask for ladies in shops or restaurants.

When I was at school ( 50s) it was the bog.My grans’ toilets down the end of the garden, the lav. Now it is the loo.

Our 7 year old grand daughter is still excited about the time we had our bathroom decorated, and often says “Do you remember the time when we had to go down the shed and pee in a bucket?”
Otherwise we all go to the toilet.

For some strange reason we called it George when I was at boarding school.

I have invented a new name for mine and have been calling it the "toilette" for some time. I am in England but it sounds quite French to call it toilette.
When I am in my daughters house I say to the GC I must pop into the toilette they call their mum and say "Nannie can't talk properly."
It's all fun and eases my boredom.

Weight Watchers? Won’t they think it’s a bit odd that you’re off to a meeting while they’re visiting?

I do sometimes say I’m paying a call.

Toilet or weight watchers if we have guests as i don`t like people to know where i`m off to.
Daft eh ?.

The toilet.

We call it the loo. Lavatory when I was a child, at home and school.

At our age now, suddenly rushing out of a room, there is no need to announce where we are going. It is also the only time we move anywhere with speed. ?
