Euphemistic

text 20:23:53

A non-exhaustive list in a vague genteel to rude order of names for, well:

  • powder room
  • the littlest room
  • restroom
  • bathroom
  • wc
  • commode
  • lavatory
  • outhouse
  • throne
  • potty
  • toilet
  • latrine
  • bog
  • crapper
  • shitter

First inspired while noting the different terms used by Neal Stephenson in Reamde, and finally posted after reading an Economist article about euphemisms.
