Yes. This.Just having moved to Canada, and after some uncomfortable silences, I realise that "washroom" is the word I'm supposed to use. Drives me barmy. People ask for the "washroom" key at work, then they go poo there, or wee, or vomit, or take drugs and pass out, or (yesterday) change their undies and leave piles of strange lingerie in the bin. I seldom see any evidence of washing at all.
Canadian in-laws came over for dinner the other night and asked "which one is the washroom?" I replied that it was the one with the toilet in it. Blushing and stifled giggles all round. FFS.
