Public bathrooms are referred to by a variety of terms in the US. Some refer to it as the restroom, some as the throne, and others as the lavatory.<\/p>\n
The \u201cWC\u201d sign is used to identify most public restrooms, although no one seems to know what it means.<\/p>\n
However, now that we are aware.<\/p>\n
The internet is a wealth of this type of obscure yet oddly intriguing information.<\/p>\n
But a recent finding about bathrooms has some on the internet perplexed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad someone asked because I\u2019ve been wondering about this for years but never googled it,\u201d one person comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable that I\u2019ve been living with a WC sign and didn\u2019t know why it was called WC,\u201d another person remarks.<\/p>\n
Another person says, \u201cI learned when I was 23 years old.\u201c<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI know, but don\u2019t use it (don\u2019t use the word\u2014do use the WC),\u201d a fourth responds.<\/p>\n
Some, on the other hand, find it astounding that individuals have gone their entire lives without realizing what \u2018WC\u2019 truly means.<\/p>\n
Another individual asks: \u201cWhat?!?\u201d Who is unaware of this?<\/p>\n
\u201cSurely everyone is aware of the meaning of \u2018WC\u2019?\u201d asks a third.<\/p>\n
When you break it down, the true meaning of \u201cWC\u201d really makes perfect sense.<\/p>\n
The origin of the term is rooted in the history of toilets.<\/p>\n
Many individuals turned their clothing closets into little rooms with toilets when indoor plumbing became commonplace in homes.<\/p>\n
There were just a few places throughout the home with flowing water.<\/p>\n
These days, many refer to the area where the toilet is located as the bathroom.<\/p>\n
However, in the past, a bathroom was a room containing a bathtub that was separate from a toilet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
