I wonder, why the hell is the term "rest room" used as a euphemism for "toilet/loo" ?? It doesn't make sense, does it, no body goes there to take rest.
Take a long flight somewhere and drink lots of fluids on the flight and tell me you don't feel rested after visting the rest room after you get off the flight.

Many years ago, in the U.S. at least, the Restroom had a sort of foyer outside of the place where you "take care of business". there would be couches, tables, newspapers, etc. You actually could go in and sit down for a little while and relax. i think this is where the term comes from.
Again here in the U.S. the term is almost exclusivly used for a facility NOT in the home. in the home you have a bathroom (even if there is no bath there). at least, that's my experience.
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors
when I just scratch my face because my code doesn't compile or application server plays with my nerv. I just go to the rest room(toilet) and really rest there for few minutes.
