Revision as of 18:24, 7 February 2002
A toilet is a device or construction for the disposal of bodily wastes, including urine, faeces and vomit.
The word toilet comes from the French language, in which it also recalls the complex of the operations of body care, not only in bathroom. A piece of bedroom furniture is called toilette.
Toilet is not considered a polite word in the US, probably because it reminds one of the malodourous and unhygienic aspect of it. The word toilet is often substituted with "bath room", "rest room", "mens room", "ladies room", "ladies lounge" etc. In other countries, it may be called "water closet", "water chamber" or "W.C."
