A couple from TikTok, Shelby and Dylan, shared a video in 2020, where they were talking about the difference between Americans and Canadians.
“What in the world is a washroom?” Dylan asked. “And what are they washing in there? Oh, it’s a restroom. The only thing I wash in there is my hands,” he then continued.
Then Shelby asked, “Do you rest in a restroom?”
“That’s a good point. They both don’t make much sense,” Dylan said.
As the Mirriam Webster’s Dictionary explained, “water closet” is a noun which describes, “a compartment or room with a toilet” or “a toilet bowl and its accessories.”
In short, it means “WC.”
In Reddit, a user asked to other users, “Why is a public WC called bathroom if there is [no] bath?”
A Redditor commented under, “Americans might similarly ask: ‘Why is it called a WC (water closet) if it isn’t even a closet?”
“In Russian it’s ‘a room without windows’ even if there actually is a window,” then a different Redditor shared, “In Esperanto, it’s necesejo, or ‘necessary place’”

Video Shows Elementary School Principal Aggressively Paddling 6-Year-Old Student
A disturbing video has surfaced that depicts a southwest Florida elementary school principal and a clerk scolding a six-year-old kid for allegedly scratching a computer screen.
The mother of the child, who went to the school to pay a fine for the harm her daughter was alleged to have caused, took pictures of the occurrence. The mother stated that she feared no one would believe her account, so she recorded the incident.
Although Florida law doesn’t specifically prevent it, corporal punishment is prohibited according to the district handbook. The mother of the child said that the paddling was harsh and horrifying, possibly causing bodily as well as psychological damage.
Concerning the harshness of the sentence, the family’s lawyer described it as “aggravated battery.” In order to document the injuries, the mother has taken her daughter to the doctor.
Outrage and demands for justice have been generated by the incident, and it is hoped that the school district will take the proper action.
