  • What else do they call washroom?

    I used to livein LA and a person actually didn't understand me once when I said washroom. They like the word restroom down there. I got made fun of for saying bum and mom (pronounced mum).

    Is it true that you burn 500 calories and hour shoveling snow? I'm from Hope, BC and it took me 2 hours to get to my car and shovel it out yesterday.

    I was raised to call it a bathroom....even when there's no bath. :wink:

    ay, well no, but my brother lives in Val-de-Montes, Quebec and my nephews are in Toronto and Meaford, Ontario and my sister-in-law is also in Meaford. Does that count? I go every two years and love to visit! I say wash room all of the time and people correct me....oh well, welcome

    This post confused me. Don't we all use the washroom? Does it mean something else in the US, cuz here it means the place we go pee.

    I know! I searched for Canadian members and it couldnt find any ;s I am from Ontario, but am living in Northern Saskatchewan at the moment!!

    Same here! I'm from Gananoque Ontario but currently living in southeast Saskatchewan.

    Seems like loads of Canadians on here and we all pop up out of the woodwork when someone posts looking for us. :)

    Alberta!

    ha, that made me LOL

    Also found confusing since we're the richest province, have no GST, don't pay Healthcare, and make gobs of money. Also, every freaking person from each coast seems to feel the need to move here, so.... ya. Don't get it.

    Calgary girl here!

    Lived in Scotland for a short time, they would say 'toilets' instead of 'washrooms' which I always thought sounded a bit more crass. Or 'loo' or 'wc' (water closet). I prefer washrooms!

    Well hi there! How are you enjoying this last cold snap???!!! Yikes. I can't believe I was actually happy at the warmth of the -24 that greeted me when I left the Gym this morning. LOL. The -38 (feels like -46) must have toughened me up!!
