嗬嗬,我是班門弄斧了-- 你這麼一補充可有意思了。 這是幾年前寫的東西了,記不太清楚了,當時就是很驚訝LOO竟然是個高雅的詞-- 不就是兩坑嗎--
查了一下wiki, " The word toilet itself may be considered an impolite word in the United States, while elsewhere the word is used without any embarrassment."
在英國, 是不是toilet 比較起Loo來更常用,所以相對沒那麼高雅? 我感覺用loo的人好像更老套一些。
“The origin of the (chiefly British) term loo is unknown. According to the OED, the etymology is obscure, but it might derive from the word Waterloo. ”
