I assure you that “toilet closet” is correct. It’s the size of a closet and only has a toilet in it.

I see where you’re going with this.. in explanation to people from other nations, house plans in Australia with a seperate “toilet in a closet”, for lack of a better description, are depicted as “WC” on the plans, which means “water closet”.

We sometimes use the term in Canada as well, though it’s considered dated or used for one with a toilet and a sink (what we now call a half-bath). I enjoyed my solution.

Yea but in some countries, we keep the toilet in a small separate room away from the shower, sink, bathtub, etc. So it’s like a toilet closet for us. I’ll never understand why someone wants us to all speak the same way.

You go about it in a misguided way. I’m a native English speaker. Hell, I’m an English teacher.

It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to have fun with my words. Despite what I called it, you knew what I meant; therefore, the comment is wholly unnecessary and unhelpful.
