To think toilet sounds better than loo?

[Mabelthebore]

& dessert sounds nicer than pudding? I know some people look down on those who say toilet and dessert but I actually think they sound nicer. I think loo in particular is a horrible word.

The word toilet actually makes me cringe..loo every time for me!

Why not say bog and sweet instead?

Prefer bog or lavvy myself.

I like to say Lav. Or if feeling posh I say Lavatorium 😂

I always use bog.

I'm afraid I'm a loo and pudding person!

My mother only ever used "lavatory".

Dessert over pudding. Pudding sounds stodgy to me.

Boglet

Latrines and scram

we say cludgie. (DH is Scottish).

No. The word toilet is horrible. Dessert is worse to my ears. I always say loo and pudding.

'I'm just nipping to the loo' sounds better than toilet IMO, toilet makes me think of 5 year olds asking their teacher, I would yell 'I'm just in the toilet' to DH though. Would never use lav or lavatory but not for any particular reason. Dessert sounds posher than pudding IMO but I'd use both.

Toilet and dessert are so non-u.

I don’t have a preference between loo and toilet, either are fine, but pudding is much much better than dessert.

The word toilet makes me cringe to be honest. As do the words serviette and lounge.

Its my mum’s snobbery and I know it’s awful but these sorts of words sound so much like people trying too hard. Yes I know I am a snob.

My MIL thinks loo is as bad as toilet. Apparently we should all be saying lavatory! 😄

Fun fact - I used to know someone who had an actual phobia of the word phobia. His partner warned everyone he was medically diagnosed as having a real phobia of hearing the word. The first time I was told was as we were taking off our jackets on the way in to a dinner party at their home. I was terrified of saying it accidentally 😱

Sorry - that was supposed to say he had a phobia of the word pudding

Also like to use chunty.

Mummie says toilet is a much worse word than fuck

And in this case I agree. It’s just ugly word.

If I'm asking where they are I tend to ask for directions to the ladies! Loo or toilet don't feel right. Pudding to me is a specific type of desert - usually the type served with custard! Desert covers everything!

A whisper to other half, "nipping to the loo", or "need the ToileT"..... the t's are too noisy.

I'd better never call it the john or the karzy then!!

Toilet is an uncomfortable word to say- the shapes in the mouth are contradictory. It’s hard work

Loo is nice and easy.

I had a teacher who insisted on the word ‘lavatory’. I used to giggle every time I heard it said.
