remind me another word, restroom. -birdswimming(feifei); 2002-1-21 {238} (#342422@0)
Once I used this word to describe a picture, which is a coffee room. After I showed my design with this word underneath the picture to my client, he just cound't help laughing. :(

Now I understand, it's the same meaning as washroom.

Very good posting. -jabber(jabber); 2002-1-21 {226} (#342441@0)
Situational English is a very interesting topic. Hope you cook up more stories.

By the way, the correct spelling for "PUPU" is "poop". Kids may call their playmates "poop head". Of course, the latter are offended.
在美国，一般说restroom, 加拿大通常只叫washroom。 -amber(琥珀); 2002-1-21 (#342442@0)

bathroom 通常指有洗浴设备的，例如你要是买房子，就会考虑有几间bathrooms，这在加拿大和美国都是一样的。 -amber(琥珀); 2002-1-21 (#342661@0)
臭豆腐说的对！美国人在餐厅里也找bathroom，不会希望餐厅也准备洗浴设备的吧？ -tristan(风亦雪@起个大早); 2002-1-21 (#342829@0)

对, 我在安省艺术馆做义工的时候,常有参观者询问厕所在哪里,本地人说WASHROOM, 美国人说RESTROOM,有些欧洲游客说W.C,当然回到国内,北京,上海的公共厕所都叫做TOILET,这个词加拿大人听见会大吃一惊,因为在这里好像仅仅代表马桶! :-)) -flying_snow(飞雪浮冰); 2002-1-21 (#342517@0)

In my opnion the restroom is popular in CA. I can't imagine the man didn't know the meaning of restroom. -killer(流血五步伏尸二人); 2002-1-21 (#342446@0)

Shit Room ------- a joke -olala(olala); 2002-1-21 {181} (#342547@0)
One day I was MSN with my LG - we both at work.
He: I have to leave
I: meeting?
He: bathroom
I: it should be "washroom" - there's no bath there
He: it's "shit room"
...
hehe, fantastic! -montreal(说点真话); 2002-1-21 {11} (#342627@0)

reminds me of my story---when we really need to say "poop"--- -tongbuyong(SmartMover); 2002-1-21 {446} (#342889@0)
i registered my kid to daycare, the nice lady let me fill out a form in which an item is to describe kid's 'bowel movement', what the heck is that? i asked (wholeheartedlly), the lady blushed and try to find words , and i thought it is normal. 10 sec later, she told me it is a "dark color solid waste from kid's tummy", that made me think almost 1min, finally i got it. aftre that i thought if she could have used the simple word---sh...t.

that would be too strong for a lady to say, was that quote a defination from a dictionary? -rootbear(喝点啤酒晕晕头); 2002-1-22 (#343334@0)

补充一句说，toliet pager在Slang里面说成ammunition，如Help! We're completely out of ammunition! 有点搞笑啊？ -xanada(㊣流水); 2002-1-21 (#342913@0)
还是科班的厉害，象俺这样野路子的英文，尿憋死也说不出lavatory，好有一种讲法叫：nature's call -rootbear(喝点啤酒晕晕头); 2002-1-22 (#343330@0)

If you can study Toefl, you can meet this word. This is a famouse story about the lavatory. the lavatory is builded on the lava. hehe -killer(流血五步伏尸二人); 2002-1-22 (#343385@0)
