I always liked the word toilet. Like in 'a lady's toilette'. I think we just don't like to think of the object of a toilet, and what goes on there, all the grunting and puking and stuff.
In England, For Rent signs are written 'to let'.
I remember one awful day, wandering around a warehouse looking for a toilet, thinking that the decrepit sign had dropped a letter. I was sadly disappointed.
While in Europe it's known as a water closet or look for the signs that read "WC". That is where relief is to be found.

as part of the renovations, the boy created a separate "toilette" and "salle de bain" in his apartment. it makes the latter much more intimate/private because, in theory, dinner guests and whatnot would never go in there - they just need the toilet room (which also means there's no need to clean it when you're expecting company!).
kate - as a dinner guest i often like to take a quick bath, so be sure to clean it before i come over for dinner...
well, you're no longer getting an invitation to dine - too much work involved!
Bwahahahaha. I love it. Bathing dinner guests. I may eventually put a tiny 'toilette' upstairs in my little wartime house. I thought I could put the poop chute down through the closed up chimney ;-)
