I've always referred to them as WC's, washrooms or public toilets.
A bathroom (to me at least) is that room in my house with a shower. Good God, I hope people are showering!
Some people smell quite offensive when they don't, it's in the everyone's interest to do so. :)

My son takes a bath everynight.
I refer to a bathroom as any room with a shower or bathtub.
My half bath I refer to as the powder room. Although there is no powder in there, so I don't know where that name came from.

The French , according to Mrs R who lived there for a year, do not shower regularly. One even asked her why she showered everyday.
Shower with Evian.
Speaking of bathrooms, the bathrooms in the Hilton in Vegas sum up Vegas. Over the urinals, they have photos of female models in various poses depicting small johnsons. One has a tape measure, while another has a camera while another uses 2 fingers to denote small size.
The only reason to see the Hilton is Manilow although I did win almost $ 150 playing a Happy Days penny slot which I promptly lost the next day.

I often take baths in the bathroom. It's the reason this place's water bill has shot up since I moved in. *blushes* In my defence, if I showered for as long as I bathed, I'd probably use a LOT more water. My books would get all soggy and pulpy though. D:
And this, folks, is why Brits in a restaurant will say "I'm going to the loo" instead of "I'm going to the bathroom".

My Brits'-tourist-guide-to-New-York explains to me that Americans refer to the toilet/loo/WC/Gents/littleboysroom (and various other conotations that are far too crude for someone of my sensitive disposition to post) as the Bathroom.
"The French , according to Mrs R who lived there for a year, do not shower regularly."
True. European statistics now indicate that the British male is the cleanest in Europe, thankfully dispelling all those beliefs left over from WWII.

I think its more strange to be called a Restroom - that is the last place I would like to rest in.
I also think its odd to call it a "john". Poor Johns everywhere.

I don't know where this thought popped into my head. But, I remember watching a Carlin bit where he was talking about how it was wrong to say "taking a S----. When in reality your really leaving one in there.

A tid-bit of French knowledge, their showers don't have curtains. You have to pay to use a port-o-john (They are clean) & you have to pee into a hole in the floor.

In Germany, the toilets have something called a poo-shelf. I don't know if that's its name, but that's what my friends and I call it. It's a little porcelain mezzanine so you can examine your leavings thoroughly before flushing them away.
I'd really rather pee in a hole in the ground. :/

They have inspection shelves in the Netherlands as well. There's usually a jar of what look like extra-long, extra-thick tooth-picks nearby so you can errrr, errrr,....
yes, well, that's enough of that.

WHY? Why the need for inspection, I ask you????

It's been explained to me as something that was introduced during WWII when the quality of food and personal hygiene in Europe was a lot less than ideal. There was a much increased likelihood of getting worms and so people used to have to use the tooth picks to poke around in their excrement to check they didn't have them.
And the practice still continues.

By the time I've found something in my poo by poking at it with a stick, it's a bit late to worry about it, no?
