“WC” stands for “water closet,” a term that historically referred to the toilet, while bathrooms were used for bathing and restrooms for freshening up. Many social media users were surprised by this revelation, with one admitting they were 23 when they first learned the meaning of WC, while another shared they were 27.
On a different bathroom-related note, stand-up comedian Freddy Quinne went viral for explaining an unspoken “urinal rule” that many men follow. He explained that when there are five urinals, it’s best to pick the first or last one. If those are taken, the middle urinal is the next best choice.
The real no-go, according to Freddy, is using urinals two and four, unless all the other options are occupied. This unspoken rule ensures personal space and avoids awkward situations when men use public restrooms.
Freddy’s insight struck a chord with many men who resonated with the “urinal etiquette,” acknowledging the silent understanding that keeps bathroom visits more comfortable for everyone.
