great topic!

I've experienced many embarassment in using wrong words at wrong places.

When i saw a dump on the road, I urged my friend not to step on "shit".
When I wanted to say "pussy" (not sure if there's more general term), i said "cuxt", and the laughing exploded!

But I'm still not sure, when I asked "where's the toliet?", some stared at me so strangely, kept suppressing their laugh, and repeated "you..want toliet?"

Now I said restroom or washroom, but what's wrong with toliet? What about loo? Is it obsolete today?

Hello, Yau,
There are two possibilities: either it's a typo, or it's because you need to say tOIlet Smile [:)]

Anyway, have a look here, you'll find many useful explanations!
