What does WC stand for? I\u2019m pretty sure we generally refer to the loo as the \u2018bathroom\u2019 or the \u2018restroom\u2019 if you\u2019re posh.<\/p>\n
But it turns out that there\u2019s another name we used to call it and it\u2019s completely blown my little mind.<\/p>\n
It turns out that the \u2018WC\u2019 stamped on bathroom doors actually means something \u2013 and that something is \u2018water closet\u2019.<\/p>\n
What makes it even worse is that there\u2019s a perfectly good reason behind it too.<\/p>\n
Back in the day, when someone would use the bathroom it would actually be to take a bath.<\/p>\n
When one would use the restroom, it would supposedly be to rest or get ready for the day by using the sink and mirror.<\/p>\n
If you actually needed to take a leak, you would use the water closet to use the toilet.<\/p>\n
At least I wasn\u2019t the only baffled person, as many on social media are just as dazed as I am.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean wc stands for water closet\u2026\u2026..\u201d one person commented.<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cI was 23 y\/o when I learned that WC is called water closet.\u201d<\/p>\n
At least you\u2019re not 27.<\/p>\n
\u201cI call MINE a bathroom,\u201d someone else revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI call the ones in public, restrooms.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what a water closet is, but don\u2019t use it (don\u2019t use the word \u2013 do use the WC).\u201d<\/p>\n
Keeping on the topic of bathrooms, one TikToker went viral for sharing the unwritten urinal rule that \u2018every guy knows\u2019.<\/p>\n
Posted by stand-up comedian, Freddy Quinne, he says men have an unwritten rule about having a wee in a public urinal.<\/p>\n
Freddie says: \u201cNobody\u2019s ever discussed this with us, nobody\u2019s gone out and set the rules but we all know which place to have a p*ss is acceptable and which one isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
He explains that if you have five empty urinals in a row, the only reasonable decision is to use the first one on the left, or the last one on the right.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you\u2019ve got five urinals in a row here and the rule is, if you go in and every single one is empty, then you take urinal number one [far left] or urinal number five [far right],\u201d Freddie adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
