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 call it toilet tissue.

God such snobbery OP. Does it really matter?

Bog,Loo, Toilet - ROLL ,never Tissue

Loo Roll or Toilet Paper here!

'Toilet' is one of the zillion class markers that British people obsess over. Although to be fair the Americans seem even more horrified by the word. Horrified by the word yet happy to leave big gaps above, below, and to the side of toilet stalls where everyone can you perching on The Thing Which Cannot Be Mentioned. It's a funny old world.

Bog roll here, toilet tissue if I'm feeling classy

Loo , toilet is grammatically incorrect.

It is?

serin Kill the bitch!!

It's loo, not toilet (shudders) Toilet is awful!

Don't even get me started on "pardon" which generates images of grimy kids with snot running down their faces.

Ah my dh calls it arse paper

Toilet tissue/bathroom tissue is very wanky.

No it is not.
This is just snobbery.

Don't even get me started on "pardon" which generates images of grimy kids with snot running down their faces.

Thread is progressing as I would expect. Have we had mention of U and non-U yet?

ugh, who even says ‘toilet’? how irredeemably common.

Yes, absolutely full blown snobbery. Toilet is awful, as is HKLP (holds knife like pen)

It's cultural, I was brought up to think that. Deeply engrained.

Toilet roll.

I call it loo or toilet roll

Toilet roll or toilet paper.
While I find all this U and non-U snobbish nonsense to be fascinating, it grates on me ever more deeply with every passing year. "Ooh look at us we are so correct saying what not pardon and shuddering at the use of the word toilet."

What's wrong with loo or toilet?

Are you all French and sensitive to mentions of Waterloo or something?

Or does it conjure up images of Peterloo?

Dust! That is where it is coming from!

Every time I sit down on the loo I wipe the top of the toilet/loo/bog roll holder with a piece of it and think' why is that always dusty'

Revelation.

Hate the word toilet, can’t bear to say it or hear it. Loo all the way here.

Funny how no-one has used the word 'lavatory'. My mother had an argument with a friend who castigated her for using the word 'toilet' and asked her why she couldn't just use the 'proper' name for it, the 'lavatory'. Personally I dislike 'bog' and 'bog roll' and 'loo' makes no real sense, but heck, so long as we all know what we are each talking about does it really matter?

Wait, how else would you pronounce toy-lut (if you were to let it cross yr lips?)

So in order of posh to not posh, is it loo > toilet > bog? Or if you think toilet is 'common' (do we mean downmarket here or popular?) is bog more or less common than toilet?

Pardon is a funny one, because you probably have some people who've been told to say pardon because their parents/teachers think that 'what' is rude/downmarket and other people who say 'what' because they've been led to believe that pardon is rude/common etc.

BTW, I've been to toilet paper factories for work. They are extremely dusty, it's almost like being in a snowstorm. They also make the rolls in a massive giant toilet roll - taller than a person. They then unroll it into smaller rolls which are then chopped up into individual sized toilet rolls.

Anything else is just vulgar

Bog roll, always. I couldn’t bring myself to say loo, urgh it sounds so twee.

If I really have to turn on the charm I say toilet roll
