Toilets are what Brits call the room that America's call a bathroom. I guess at least that has the virtue of the room actually having toilets in it and not baths.

I'm a Brit (as my handle suggests) and technically I agree with your comment but if I read you can't drink "the water in the toilets" it sounds pretty literal even to me.

washroom is American but bathroom is Canadian

I've always heard and used bathroom as an American. Restroom is also used for public facilities that don't actually have bathtubs.

It might break down like pop/soda. Are you from a pop or soda state?

[PebblesRox]

Yeah, it probably depends on the region.

My state is split down the middle and I'm in the soda half.

Another lifelong American checking in with "bathroom". I've lived up and down the East coast, and "bathroom" would have been normal to hear anywhere, alongside "restroom". "Washroom" would be a very distant 3rd option.

'bathroom' is extremely common in the USA.
