Complete writing of WC

w c is the earliest expression for the toilet, and its full name is water closet, which means to tell others "I'm going to pee and squat in the toilet". This very vulgar expression was used by Britain, America and other countries one hundred and twenty years ago. It was introduced in China for many years, and many people in China know that WC is the English abbreviation of public toilets. But in fact, abroad, WC disappeared a few years ago and was replaced by Toilet, so the joke that foreigners don't know WC will come out.

the meaning of p>WC itself is not much different from that of Toilet, but rhetorically speaking, the former gives the impression that it is simple and unsanitary, while the latter not only has a clean and comfortable feeling, but also can dress up in it. Toilet comes from French, and even the French word "L 'eau de Toilet" is related to Toilet, which shows that it still has a very elegant feeling. Toilet is translated into "public restroom" by elegant translation.

the word p>W．C is the abbreviation of wafter-closet, in which the word closet is interpreted as "small room". The twentieth century dictionary defines water-closet as a small room for storage, and the "discharge" is washed away by water. WC is easy to understand, so it has been widely used. However, because everyone knows what WC refers to, some people think it is indecent, so they replace it with other more implicit words, such as lavatory, lounge, bathroom, toilet powder-room, etc., which can all be used to refer to toilets. In general public places, toilets are divided by gender, with men or gent's written on them, and women or ladies‘ written on them. Therefore, among the foreign population, the word WC has basically disappeared; However, in many places where English is the basis of foreign languages, it is still preserved, because it is easy to catchy and will not be forgotten after listening, which can be regarded as a linguistic feature.
