to think loo paper is what it's called

[HepzibahHumbug]

AIBU to think asking a 5 year old to say toilet tissue is a horrible genteelism?

It's loo paper, and you flush it down a loo.

Also, has anyone else noticed how dusty it is?

I say 'loo roll'. My upbringing was too posh to use the word 'toilet' so I would never say 'toilet tissue'.

I say tish-you.

Hyacinth wouldn’t know what toilet tissue is because like the Queen she’s never needed to use the lavatory.

Richard had to go at work or nip round to Daisy’s.

I'd love one of those very civilized Japanese toilets that gently jet washes one's orifices and then dries you with a series of pleasantly warm puffs of air. None of this uncouth wrangling about with Andrex like some kind of savage.

Its toilet paper or roll in my house.

My upbringing was too posh to use the word 'toilet'
Same, I may have to hide the thread before I see the T-word (or the even worse lavatory) one more time. Heaven forfend if someone adds in a WC.

But Celia, Celia, Celia shits.
And wipes her 'bum' with 'loo paper'.

It's loo roll.

And please, please tell me that none of you 'tissue' fans pronounces it "tiss-you"

shudders

We usually refer to it as Bronco, in homage to the 'luxurious' hard, shiny stuff that we used to have at school. Not that we actually buy that stuff (is it even possible now?) - we opt for nothing less than the finest base economy range stuff that Aldi can sell.

Similarly, kitchen roll is always 'Burly' in our household, from an old episode of the Simpsons, where Marge developed a crush on the brand character from his picture on the packet.

Incidentally, every time they play a song by Clean Bandit on the radio, I always think what a perfect brand name it would make for a range of moistened lavatory wipes

The only real problem with calling them loo rolls is when you send somebody out with a handwritten shopping list which features them and they come back with just over 8 dozen bread rolls instead

I have never said loo paper, or referred to the toilet as a loo.
This is the exact opposite of me! I use “loo” not “toilet”.

The quilted stuff isn't dusty.

So Agatha you agree that bog standard loo roll is dusty?

The TA in DCs primary tried to teach them this.. ...along with the word "pardon"

My grandparents called it toilet tissue when the only stuff you could get was shiny and not at all absorbent. I think it was called Izal. This sounds like reverse snobbery to me.

So I must be the only one who refers to it as shit roll 🤷🏻‍♂️

My dd's df corrected her in front of me when she said 'what?'
I was flabbergasted (he is American by way of excuse)
He preferred 'pardon' which I think u can just about get away with after a loud burp.

@FurrySlipperBoots Who Gives a Crap is what I would call cheap quality, it is thin and dissolves as you use it, leaving little rolled up bits stuck on you. Fingers easily go through it. The perforations are not good and it rips along the sides, and the sheets are smaller than average.

I am stuck with the smallest box of it, and not one person likes it out of the 5 that have used it.

To reply to the OP, I can't stand the word 'loo'. I buy bog rolls. I put them in the toilet roll holder, in either the bog, the bathroom or the en suite, never the loo.

Quilted bog rolls that don't disintegrate as much as the other type.

I call it boggers! Not sure where that came from and not very classy I admit.

I don't think I could physically say the word toilet

Even typing it gives me the heebie jeebies

Loo roll or toilet paper.

Buy bamboo stuff from Who Gives a Crap. www.talkable.com/x/EzVWTC

They call it toilet paper b

How do you pronounce it?

Tish-oo.

What’s wrong with the word ‘toilet’?!

Always loo and loo paper. Hate the word 'toilet' - considered very common where I come from. Especially when pronounced 'toy-lut'.

Loo , toilet is grammatically incorrect.
