Anonymous users2024-01-24The word W C is an abbreviation of wafter-closet, where the word "closet" is used as "small room". The Twentieth Century Dictionary explains water-closet as a small room used for storage, where the "effluents" are washed away with water.
The meaning of WC is easy to understand, so it has been widely used. However, since everyone knows what WC means, some people find it indecent and replace it with other more subtle words, such as lavatory, restroom, bathroom, toiletpowder-room, etc., which can be used to refer to toilets. In general public places, toilets are usually divided by gender, with men often written men, or gent's, and women or ladies' for women.
It is because the term WC has largely disappeared from foreign populations; However, in many places where English is used as a foreign language, it is still retained, because it is easy to catch, and you will not forget it after listening to it, which can be regarded as a characteristic of the language.

Anonymous users2024-01-19Abbreviation for Water Closet.
For a long time, there was a water tank water closet in the toilet, and when people thought of water closet, they thought of toilet, so water closet became synonymous with toilet. Later, for convenience, people used the opening letter of water closet instead of toilet.
Only in China, this kind of erroneous usage, the wording of the hope of the text, has not changed over the years, and it is even suspected of being a joke by international friends. The Beijing Olympics has opened up the way for China to connect with the world, and "shooting" WC, although it is only a change of two small letters, contains profound content. >>>More
The abbreviation of water closet has been used in China.
Yes, W· C is the earliest expression for toilets, the full name is water closet, which means to tell people "I'm going to poop and pee and squat in the pit". This very vulgar expression was used by countries such as Britain and the United States a hundred or two hundred years ago. Introduced in China for many years, many Chinese know that WC is the English abbreviation of public toilets, but in fact, abroad, WC has disappeared a few years ago and replaced by Toilet, so there will be jokes that foreigners do not know WC.
