bathroom/restroom - now here's a challenge:

toilet
lavatory
loo
lav
Khazi
bog
ladies or gentlemen (according to who is using the public toilet)
Gents (for men)
WC
urinal (for men)
little girls room
little boys room
where the big knobs hand out (mens)
the porcelain (I'm off to point Percy at the porcelain - a stricly 
male term)
The doughnut in granny's greenhouse


this is because we excel in euphemism - as you can see.
