Talk:lavatory

Sense 5 is currently tagged as a euphemism:

• "(euphemistic) A room containing a toilet: a bathroom (US) or WC (UK)."

Yet none of the definitions at toilet are tagged as euphemisms, despite, "From its use as a private room, toilet came to refer euphemistically to lavatories and then to its fixtures, beginning in the United States in the late 19th century.". That doesn't strike me as consistent. —DIV (1.145.115.242 13:43, 2 February 2023 (UTC))Reply
