    1.) It is not a Bathroom, a bathroom is where you Bathe. ;P (Sorry, couldn't resist as I know how much you appreciate it when us Brits point out the faults in your Americanisms).

    Right you are sir. I should edit that so it says restroom instead. I really don't know why we use the word bathroom for anything other than bathing. Good catch. :)

      Why a restroom? Do you do much resting in there?

        I love random questions that send me hurtling into Wikipedia[^] to look stuff up.

                Lavatory (I think) also means a place to wash. Although now used as a polite word for toilet.

                  1. The only conversation allowed is a simple "Thanks" or "Cheers" if someone holds the door open for you. 2) Pissing whilst one the phone is funny if the guy doing it then drops the phone into the urinal. 3) The Army taught me not to piss on my hands. 4) Courtesy flushes are for pussies. Real men mark their territory. 5) Brushing teeth in a public toilet is just freaky, wait till you get home/hotel room/brothel. 6) There is never ever any reason to use the urinal next to one being used. A gap of at least one urinal is required, minimum!

                          Because most of our bathrooms have baths in them, along with toilet and sink, and the name just got applied to any room in which any of the activities can take place?
