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.

Bathroom if at home.
Washroom if out and about.

In the US, you only say "go potty" to toddlers -- unless you're a grown adult who uses baby talk, which I guess is a thing.

Yep me too

I prefer the words bog, shitter or shithouse myself.

I remember my Dad used to refer to the lavatory, which seems extremely old fashioned now and has largely fallen into disuse. He did adapt to calling it the toilet in later life, thankfully.

Gog here and we say ty bach

My pedant brain tends to struggle with 'pudding' when it refers to something that isn't a spotted dick or whatever, despite knowing it's considered the 'correct' word 😄 So it's loo and dessert for me.

Bathrooms should only refer to rooms with an actual bath in. Therefore all those houses where they only gave a shower do not technically have a bathroom.

A few years back, I was in a vair vair posh hotel, where they did have a restroom - when you went through the door marked "Ladies", it was a room with upholstered chairs and sofas with a couple of tables and at the end, a door through to a room of rather sumptuous loo cubicles. Sort of wish I'd taken a photo in retrospect.

Anyway, loo, pudding (steak & kidney pud isn't sweet, though...) napkin (linen napkin, paper serviette.) Tea is afternoon food, dinner is evening food and supper is night food.

I have an FWB who is convinced I'm a posh bird, despite my thick Dorset accent.

The Petty.

The same applies to hotel rooms - so annoying when we forget to check whether the 'bathroom' has a bath in it or not. Clarity would help the weird people who prefer showers too.

I prefer the word 'toilet'. I hate the word 'loo' and I hate the word 'lavatory' even more! As for 'pudding',I think it sounds stodgy and doughy so I prefer 'dessert'.

Same!

If one was to go into a shop to buy a bathroom suite what would one call it then, surely not the shitter, bog, loo or lav, it's call the toilet on website pages

Yes, the item of 'sanitary ware' is called a toilet. But that doesn't mean the room it's in has to be thus named.

Estate agents( and others) refer to a downstairs loo as a cloakroom. My downstairs loo has never had coats in it but I've been to several that do.

I just remembered that a character in the novel The Collector referred to it rather daintily as a 'place', as in 'I went to the place'. 😄I've never seen/heard that anywhere else.

Same here.

Its purely how I was brought up, but I'm over 60 now and still can't bring myself to say the word toilet.

I fell in love with my late husband because he said lavatory 😂

Bog or lavvy (disclaimer, I’m a Scot 🤣)

pudding always - dislike dessert. And never, ever sweet. Serious cringe.

Surely a pudding 🍮 is a type of dessert?

Dessert is the general term. Pudding 🍮 , 🍨, cake 🍰 are types of desserts?!

Loo, bog, shitpot, shitter. Depends what flows out my mouth at the time.

Also, pudding.

This is a pudding https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pudding#/media/Datei%3AGriesmeelpuddingmettrodebessennsaus.jpg

My husband and daughter have taken to calling it the Urination Station. So. There's that.
