remind me another word, restroom.Once I used this word to describe a picture, which is a coffee room. After I showed my design with this word underneath the picture to my client, he just cound't help laughing. :(
Now I understand, it's the same meaning as washroom.

Very good posting.Situational English is a very interesting topic. Hope you cook up more stories.
By the way, the correct spelling for "PUPU" is "poop". Kids may call their playmates "poop head". Of course, the latter are offended.

Shit Room ------- a jokeOne day I was MSN with my LG - we both at work.
He: I have to leave
I: meeting?
He: bathroom
I: it should be "washroom" - there's no bath there
He: it's "shit room"

reminds me of my story---when we really need to say "poop"---i registered my kid to daycare, the nice lady let me fill out a form in which an item is to describe kid's 'bowel movement', what the heck is that? i asked (wholeheartedlly), the lady blushed and try to find words , and i thought it is normal. 10 sec later, she told me it is a "dark color solid waste from kid's tummy", that made me think almost 1min, finally i got it. aftre that i thought if she could have used the simple word---sh...t.

补充一句说，toliet pager在Slang里面说成ammunition，如Help! We're completely out of ammunition! 有点搞笑啊？
