Before potatoes came to Ireland, the Irish mostly just ate leprechauns iirc

Using bathroom to mean the lavatory as opposed to the room you bathe in is what’s being referred to there

Varies by state, the fucking palava you have to go through to buy a six pack of beer and a bag of chips in Pennsylvania was another infuriating and very American.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Sunday, 17 March 2019 11:24 (five years ago) link
Fun fact, the literal meaning of "lavatory" is also "a room for washing", they are equivalent. At least Australians use "dunny" which derives from a word meaning "dung house".
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Sunday, 17 March 2019 11:56 (five years ago) link
tbh I don't know anyone who says "lavatory" either, it's toilets/loos/bogs afaik

Using bathroom to mean the lavatory as opposed to the room you bathe in is what’s being referred to thereyeah but “toilet” means the room you dress or wash in, it’s modern polite euphemisms replacing now-seen-as-coarse-euphemisms all the way down

i'm reading harry potter to my kids and they keep saying "bathroom". now, jk rowling's english, and these kids are clearly intended to be english (king's cross station etc) - so what gives? has the editor americanized these words because of the larger american market for these books? or is there an actual american edition?? (struggling to think of what else might have been changed in this case, presumably a few passing references to graham crackers and rodeos)

Using bathroom to mean the lavatory as opposed to the room you bathe in
"Lavatory" is derived from, let's see, "lavatorium," and from "lavare," which means to wash or bathe.
Is there an "oh let's laugh at the stupid Americans" point that I am missing here?
― Gunther Gleiben (Ye Mad Puffin), Sunday, 17 March 2019 14:42 (five years ago) link
"Hunsecker... to the lavatorium - at once!!"
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Sunday, 17 March 2019 14:44 (five years ago) link
I know the etymology of lavatory duh. I was just clarifying why ppl were mentioning bathroom itt because deems asked “what’s American about bathroom”. Outside of the us it’s less common to use “bathroom” for a room that only contains a toilet and sink (ie no bath or shower). That’s what ppl are saying is American.

is there an actual american edition??
yes-- pudding becomes dessert etc. (and obv philosopher becomes sorcerer).
read an article once about the process and they talked about leaving in colloquialisms where they could be understood from context and added that vital tone of twee exotica: the example i remember was someone saying "she got a bit shirty with me".
