I’m from non-english speaking country but we use “WC” for toilet and I just found out the meaning behind it
In India, WC is the Western Commode, as opposed to the Indian Commode (squat toilet)
When I visited India it was always called “western style toilet” or something like that.
The more you drink the more double-you see
Another word for toilet is john, which is also a presidential middle name.
I didn’t even see this post before I started my “Uncle John’s Facts From A Closed Toilet”, but consider this my pearls in the alley in front of a Young Bruce.

Wash Closet sounds like a small room for washing clothes or a person, however I was previously aware of the term.
If I remember correctly, some Asian countries call it WC. I hope this translates well, because the next part is really dumb.
Imagine if we were all forced to go into a tiny room and swing from clothing hangers while water blasted our buttholes!
Yippee!
And ‘crapper’ is from Thomas Crapper, who was one lauded as the inventor of the toilet, but that is s bit overblown.
Still the name stuck
That one isn’t actually true. https://www.etymonline.com/word/crapper
