@Eric If it's loo, it needs to be "In the Loo" or "On the Loo". Loo alone doesn't make sense and makes @dominica think potty humor is acceptable/normal...
Does it need to be "in the water closet" then?
-
Or for the Brits.... "In the Cupboard of Patrick's Love"

@scottalanmiller Yes I guess just like for example a friend from our country visited to Canada "her nephew told her that Don't use C.R (comfort room) if you want to go to wash room, ladies room or etc. They went to Shopping center/ Mall
She said. " Excuse me where is the Bathroom?

It's English, actually. Just really rare. It is late-middle English and a word not used here but must have been retained there: late Middle English: from Old French viande ‘food,’ from an alteration of Latin vivenda, neuter plural gerundive of vivere ‘to live.’

Seriously, the English language makes even some of the most convoluted environments I've walked into look like Monk's house in comparison as far as rationality and organization...LOL
