Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2008 4:51 amThe spelling is different, the toilet one is spelt "loo", but........does anyone know why the word "loo" refers to the toilet?
I know one version of the story, but I am not sure of its validity, lets see how many versions we can find.

I also apologise for helping to highjack LouIsis's page, maybe admin or a moderator could move this to another page, but I am not sure about "potty talk",
Maybe "word history" and folk could post other stories about the history of the words that we use in everyday talk.
