Interesting. I hadn't realised until now that 'loo' and 'toilet' were considered such taboo words in the US. Or, at the very least, considered a little uncouth.
Anyone know why that is?
Here in the UK, both are used regularly, and never given a second's thought. Polite company or your maiden aunt wouldn't raise an eyebrow if you said "I'll just pop to the loo."
I also hadn't realised that powder room was so specfic. I'd always believed until now it was a general term. In fact, I thought it was an outside term and never realised it was used indoors. Wonderful how you learn something new every day around here.
