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?

Toilet paper or toilet roll

We call it toilet roll...

Loo roll or toilet roll.

Also if anyone reading this only wipes with loo roll and not with wet wipes/similar too then 🤮 grim.

years ago you always called it toilet tissue along with sanitary protection and the like i call it loo roll

toilet paper.

I'm not sure that it's exactly loo-toilet-bog, I think 'bog' circles around to the posh end as well. I would have happily used the word 'bog' with my friends as a teenager, but 'loo' with the generation above me, I would never use 'toilet'.

So 'bog' is posh now. mmmkay.

Pps it's been a larf but the serious point is why are our recently loo/toilet/wc/lavatory trained children being corrected by teaching staff to call it what the staff like rather than what the children are each comfortable with?
It's a tricky transition from preschool/home to full time school and one of the biggest problems is when/how to poo or pee.
Shouldn't the child be allowed to call it what they are used to without being corrected and made to feel shame?

I can't seem to care what other people call it. It's a personal choice to me, not a class marker.

It's cack wrap. Call a spade a spade!

Bog is grim, but marginally more acceptable than toilet or lavatory because it has no misplaced poshness aspirations.

Best not to sit on the toilet, it is really a Crapper. In fact we should call them Crapper rolls or Crapper paper, not to be confused with the truly crap paper from Who Gives a Crap. As for the bamboo bog rolls, I worry about the pandas, you are wiping your arse on their dinner.

Toilet paper here.

I call it toilet roll, but if I write it on a shopping list I put Bathroom Stationery, because it makes dh roll his eyes, and I hope to see one of my lists enshrined on the internets some day. :o

Loo roll here ( or bog roll if you are DH)

Loo roll here. "T-t tissssyou" is one of those marketing expressions like "sensitive bladder"

Ah a MN class thread.

I'm Irish and say toilet. Absolutely no aspirations to be posh, it's just what I call it. I also sometimes refer to the 'jacks' which is pretty vulgar really but i do love saying it.

So yes I say toilet roll.

I call it toilet roll or "Lou Rowles" (after a character in a book I read donkeys years ago. Forget which book, but the name stuck!)

And the other stuff I call "arse dust"

at bathroom stationery. If I write it on a shopping list, I write T.Roll, which looks like troll, which would also cause amusement if I lost a list that was subsequently found by a Mumsnetter.

Toilet roll here!

We tend to cal it toilet rather than loo here, and say ‘tissue paper’ not toilet or loo paper. Everyone calls it something different. A friend calls it bog roll

Loo roll. I don’t call it paper as I consider paper to be something to be written / printed on. As you say it’s dusty - and absorbent no less. More like cheap blotting paper.

Tissue paper is completely different and comes in big strips, can be used as wrapping paper. Just getting visions of giving a gift wrapped in loo roll.

Silence in the ranks!
Ahem, Please captain Sir I need ..

You see? It favours neither our tiddlers nor our soldiers. We need to agree ON A WORD!
I say loo
