When you say/hear washroom, do you think of the bathroom or the laundry room?
The bathroom, but it's really more of an American word anyway.
Washroom you say? I think of the Bathroom but only just because I'm used to American English. Plus a Laundry is still a Laundry in the USA regardless of whereabouts you live.
I think of laundry room, but I know the reference is to the bathroom.
yeah what the other bongs said
This subject has been brought up because I also call our laundry room the wash room.
It has a washer and it's where we wash our laundry (I know, the plan is deviously clever in it's simplicity.), so I always wind up calling it the wash room
I bathe in a bathroom, so I always call them bathrooms. Well, I shower in the bathrooms, but whatever.
I can see where the confusion comes from, but it's just what I always wind up calling the laundry room. :jess:
I'm surprised in Utah it doesn't mean a hydroelectric dam or something.Quote:

Bathroom.
I guess I automatically thought of a bathroom/restroom/toilet.
We don't live in Utah anymore. :cool:Quote:

For the wives.
bathroom, but doing the washing means clothing
The laundry room, even though I don't call it a washroom.
When someone says washroom I automatically think of the water closet.
At least there's one other person.Quote:

I mean seriously
It's bathroom or restroom
Maybe it's a regional thing

Sharks is wrong. Washroom isn't a real word.
I call it the bathroom or the restroom, but I've heard it called the washroom before so I think of bathroom when I hear washroom. I'd never heard laundry room called washroom until his family :shrug:
It's led to some confusing conversations
It depends on the region/ accent you use. Some regions take their language to specifics. It's most noticeable when you're talking with people whose primary language isn't English. Makes for fun conversations when you're visiting other places, or impromptu pictionary games.Quote:

In answer to the OP, washroom makes me thing of... sinks. I don't think of either a bathroom or a laundry room. Just sinks.
I think of to the window to the wash.
The smurf's a washroom OR a bathroom?
I do both my pissing and my laundry in the can.
Yes.Quote:

Bathroom. 'Cause the laundry is for laundering, and the washroom is for washing. People. Washing people, that is.
