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?

Loo roll here

i’m so posh i don’t even have a mortgage.

if you say ‘settee’ to me i will judge you, and you shall be found wanting.

sorry and all that. i don’t make the rules.

It’s toilet roll here

Loo is slang, in the US would they understand Lavatory?

Most of the women I met said “little girls room”

Dapplegrey, I wasn't aware I was sneering. I felt I was poking fun. Not sure what that has to with my comment about someone using the word common however. If someone is so affronted by the use of the word toilet surely they'd also be aware that it's considered frightfully déclassé to refer to things as being common.

I don't make the rules!

i’m so posh i don’t even have a mortgage

Since when did not having a mortgage make you posh?

It's toilet paper here tbh... the word tissue makes me cringe

sorry and all that. i don’t make the rules

Exactly.

Can't stand the word toilet so it's loo roll to me. Always.

i’m so posh i don’t even have a mortgage.

Neither does the homeless guy begging outside Tesco 🤷🏻‍♀️

Loo roll here.
Though I'm old enough to remember when it was called lavatory paper - horrible hard stuff - Bronco was the name of one brand, and it had a certain smell I can almost remember. The lavatory was always bloody freezing in winter, too.

We weren't allowed to say toilet. I don't recall my folks ever actually saying that they thought it 'common', but that's what they thought.

@mclaleli guessing you're posh and southern? 🙄 v upper class to say Tiss-you

If I’m not upper class, surely it’s correct for me to say toilet rather than pretend to be “U”.

Besides, to me, loo to me sounds twee and childish, rather like wee-wee and poo-poo.

I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone IRL who says “lavatory”.

It's toilet paper. I do not have a loo or bog. I have a toilet.

guessing you're posh and southern? 🙄 v upper class to say Tiss-you

Erm no. I am north east Scotland. But I never said I say 'tiss-you' anyway.

As the only vulgarities so far have been shit roll and arse paper, can I be the first to throw fart roll into the mix?

My stepfather was so victorian, he would have used the term "lavatory paper". He would also contemptuously acknowledge a farty aroma as a "rude smell".

Loo roll here.. tho DP thinks its funny to call it "shite rag".. not really for the 5year old though!

Didnt realise how dusty it was until we tiled the floor black and charcoal...huge regrets!

I call it toilet roll. I've never called it toilet tissue

Toilet paper at chez zoflo.
I'm liking the Tesco coconut one at the minute and it's not dusty either.

Remember the nasty stuff at school if you're
over 40? I'm 41 and remember it was like tracing paper.
Incidentally I looked at a recent supermarket receipt and it's called "toilet roll" and I also say "kitchen roll" but know that others call
It paper towels etc.

I didn't realise mumsnet was so full of the upper classes.

This aside, the worst name I ever saw for the stuff was "bath tissue" which conjured an image of someone drying themselves after a bath by dabbing tiny squares of 2-ply over their body.

Loo roll here.

Toilet is a banned word.

How about the rather lovely 'shit tickets'? A favourite of an ex although not why they're an ex.

Ffs I couldn't even type that right.
Toilet roll.
Toilet roll.

Not toilet paper

Poo roll here . My once 4 year old misheard me and it's stuck....🚽💩

'rude smell' is just so prissy and uptight!

All euphemisms for fart sound ridiculous to be honest. With my very own ears I've heard an adult human refer to a fart as windy pops. Fucking outrageous.
