The Serious Question Thread

Why do we all say "going to the toilet" except in North America where they say "going to the bathroom"?

Perhaps it's considered uncooth or gutteral to say toilet in North America. I just say that I'm going for a pee, solves the problem ;)

How can saying you are going to the toilet be "uncouth"?

What are you going to do in the bathroom, have a bath?

:rolleyes: War is good for big business, I'm glad I've got shares in Halliburton and KBR :rolleyes:

I think some parts of the world, you don't blow your nose at the dinner table for example, just as you never mention toilet in front of people. It's just that some people are squeamish about these sorts of things. Bunch of wusses if you ask me, but that's the way it is.

The F-22 is a whole generation ahead of anything out there it is almost unfair.

But the the F-22 doesn't work if it goes over the international dateline ;)
