Rude awakenings: How swearing made us human

Viz is the name of a scurrilous British magazine. Roger Mellie (the man on the telly), my avatar is a foul mouthed TV presenter. Viz runs a column run by Roger where readers can send it their own swear words/phrases. The results have been published in a dictionary of the profane (profanisaurus). It gets bigger and it constantly updated. Each update is a play on historical tomes like the Magna Carta and Das Kapital, Magna Farta and Das Krapital.

The evidence, izzy style, continues to mount against you, Iz. It shows you to be evil incarnate.

In French it's Salle de Bain, no? Et Toilet aussi..
I dunno, language is funny. You grow up hearing something and you don't think about all that often. But when you do, you realize the goofiness in it and carry on.
I'd call it both a washroom or toilet. A bathroom is at home. All are pretty interchangeable though, for many people in W. Canada..
I never say restroom.
While were on the topic, how did a loo come to be called a loo?

I don't know, I've always called it the bog. My point was that Americans don't use the term toilet or lavatory to describe public conveniences. People don't use them to rest or take a bath.
