I know my family certainly had a lot of potty jokes. Mind you, I’m not at all sure my family could have been called “typical” (and certainly not, heaven forefend, “normal”), and perhaps we attracted other families and friends who thought in similar terms. However, the water closet was, is, and shall forever remain the most vital room in the house, so let us celebrate it appropriately. All in favor… no, wait, that might be going too far…

I went searching for the origins of the British term “loo,” and the best explanation comes from The Word Detective. It would be impolite to steal thier thunder (yes, there are two authors), so please click here to read their brief, thorough, scholarly explanation.
