What does WC stand for? While we commonly say \u201cbathroom\u201d or \u201crestroom,\u201d WC means \u201cwater closet.\u201d Historically, bathrooms were for bathing, restrooms for freshening up, and the water closet was for using the toilet. Social media users have shared their surprise about this revelation, with one saying, \u201cI was 23 when I learned WC stands for water closet.\u201d Another added, \u201cAt least you\u2019re not 27.\u201d<\/p>\n

On another bathroom-related note, stand-up comedian Freddy Quinne went viral for explaining the unspoken \u201curinal rule\u201d every guy supposedly knows. If there are five urinals, always pick the first or last. If those are taken, go for the middle. Urinals two and four are only acceptable if the others are occupied. This ensures personal space and avoids awkwardness. Freddy\u2019s insight resonated with many men who agree on this unwritten rule.\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
