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’”

JENNIFER ANISTON PRAISED FOR SHOWING OFF ‘GORGEOUS’ GREY HAIR: ‘REFRESHING’
The Friends star was praised by fans after showcasing her natural hair colour on Instagram for the first time, with many branding it “refreshing”.
Just call it “The One With the Grey Hair.”
Jennifer Aniston is earning praise on Instagram for embracing her natural silver strands in a post announcing the latest launch from her haircare brand, LolaVie.
The 54-year-old’s new Intensive Repair Treatment is meant to be used once a week after shampooing to “reduce breakage and repair the look of existing damage while protecting from future damage,” per the product description.
“Sleep in it, an hour, whatever you want,” the Murder Mystery star recommended in an Instagram Reel.
Fans expressed their excitement over the launch in the comments section — and applauded Aniston for not hiding her own grey roots.
“Well done for allowing grey to come through – refreshing,” one wrote.
“So nice to see. And she’s obviously still gorgeous,” someone replied.
“I hope she stays natural – it’s much more attractive,” a third enthused.
Aniston has been famous for her luscious locks since her Friends days, having made “The Rachel” — her character’s signature shoulder-length, layered ‘do — a national sensation in the ’90s.
But these days, the Morning Show star doesn’t shy away from showing off her natural hair.
In November, Jen struck a post-shower pose on Instagram before styling her damp waves with a little help from LolaVie.
Aniston announced the launch of LolaVie in 2021. Now, the popular celebrity beauty brand even counts fellow Brad Pitt ex Gwyneth Paltrow as a fan.
