A loo is a toilet.
A bathroom contains a bath and sometimes the loo as well and a restroom is somewhere with a big soft sofa, cold beer and a telly ;)

I knew the loo was a toilet, but I didn't know that you had a completely different definition for a restroom, crazy.
Now... the wanker=f word in America right?

LOL okay... yes, rest is to lie down because you are "snackered" is that right?
But how did a loo become a toilet?
And one from our side... um... it's a "cigarette" over here.. okay?

I thought wanker was like an a.s.s. h.o.l.e. or the f word, mainly because I have a friend who lives in England(wales) and that's what he said...

As CurlyBen only touched on it...
Knackered comes from when horses went to the Knacker's Yard at the end of their working life to get cut up for meat and glue... they got Knackered... It's actually evolved to mean "to be tired from sexual intercourse"... although most people say it to mean any kind of tired.

Football is soccer
Chips are crisps
Trunk of car is boot or is that the hood?
And the terms for desserts are all screwed up!
Puddings are often not sweet or pudding like
Cakes are not cakes nor cookies cookies
However I believe a twinkie is still that 'round the world so there's hope yet!

A wanker isn't actually someone who masturbates... it pretty much does mean a.s.s.h.o.l.e

Yeah that's what I thought, because I know from personal experience I have been called a wanker and if it meant masturbation, that insult wouldn't have made sense... still the question of the loo looms...
