* (chiefly US, South Africa, Canada, Philippines, Australia, euphemistic) A lavatory (area where one washes or bathes): a room containing a toilet and (typically but not necessarily) a bathtub.
    Most Americans don't know 'WC' and many Brits mock 'bathroom' but almost everyone understands 'toilet' or 'lavatory'.

#### Usage notes

From the beginning of the 20th century, bathroom has been the generic word for a room with toilet facilities in American English, whereas Britons have continued to say lavatory relatively more frequently, and often loo or WC for a room with a toilet but no bath.
In some contexts, bathroom refers more particularly to the toilet facilities of a private residence, distinguished from public buildings' restrooms (US), washrooms (Canada), men's rooms, ladies' rooms, etc.
