Is there a difference between a BATHROOM and a WASHROOM? Today's English
lesson is all about RESTROOM vocabulary! It has many names, and I bet
you visit this place many times every day. Let’s make sure you can talk
about it properly. Avoid making embarrassing mistakes by learning some
very common words.
TRANSCRIPT
"Teacher! Teacher! Ronnie! Ronnie! Can I go -- can I go bathroom?"
"What? 'Can I go bathroom?' Okay. 'Can I go to the bathroom?' Yes. 'Can
I go bathroom?' No. Not in here, please. If you said, "Can I go
bathroom", that means that
you are going to pee
where you are. Please go to the bathroom or the washroom to pee.
Today's lesson is all about going to the toilet. This thing is called a
"plunger". Plunge, plunge, plunge! What do you do with this in the
bathroom, you wonder? This is a plunger. What we use this for is in the
toilet.
So let's imagine that your friend, your mother, your father, your
brother, your sister, or you ate a lot of food last night. And then, you
went to the toilet. You took a massive dump. What is a "massive dump"? A
"massive dump" is slang. "Take a massive dump." "Massive" means very
big, and "dump" -- let me draw it for you -- means
poo.
Unchi! Japanese style. So "take
a massive dump" means "to have a bowel movement",
if you will. Okay? But it's so large that maybe it clogs or plugged the
toilet. So that means I cannot flush the toilet. Now, basic bathroom
etiquette. Please, when you have finished whatever you're doing in
there, please always
flush the toilet.
There's a little mechanism on the toilet. It's usually a silver color.
It's very easy. You press it. All of the water and all of the extra
things in the toilet floating here -- maybe you have some poo -- it goes
away so that the next person does not have to see what you ate for
dinner. I don't want to see that. "Oh, Uncle John had corn last night."
Unnecessary for me to see. So please, I beg of you, if you are going to
use the toilet, please flush it, okay?
There was a rhyme that I knew -- I still know it. It's called, "If it's
yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down." I would like to
change the poem to say, "Flush the toilet. I don't care what color it
is. I don't want to see it." Or you're going to be getting one of these
stuck in your face. So rule No. 1: Flush the toilet, okay? With a
plunger, you are going to -- as I said -- unclog the plugged toilet.
What happens in a toilet or in a sink is you have a drain, okay? A
"drain" is a hole at the bottom where all the water goes into. It goes
to Magic Land. Okay? So the sink and the toilet both have a drain, as
does your bathtub and your shower. What happens is hair or other debris
gets stuck in the drain. So the drain gets clogged or plugged. It
basically means that all of this stuff can't go down the pipe, and it
backs up. So the water doesn't go down. Dangerous with a toilet. Not as
bad with a sink. Acceptable with a bathtub and a shower. All you need to
do is plunge it. Make sure it's clean.
Now, what do you do in a sink? Usually,
when you go to the sink, you wash your hands.
Rule No. 2: After you go to the toilet, you flush the toilet, okay?
Then, it's really, really cool. It's the coolest thing ever that you
wash your hands. Especially for men. Guys, what are you touching? What
are you doing? I don't want to touch a doorknob that you have touched
after you've taken -- sorry. After you've gone to the toilet. You've
touched your man part. You did not wash your hand, and then you touched
the doorknob. I'm touching your knob, too, okay? Literally. I don't want
to touch your knob. Please wash your hands after you flush the toilet.
Good.
Another thing that you might find in a bathroom or a washroom is a
bathtub, and/or you may have a shower. Now, the difference between a
bathtub and a shower, it's very easy. When you have or take a bath,
you're going to do it in the bathtub. In the bathtub, you get to lie
down. You get to relax. Maybe you have some bubbles. Maybe you have a
rubber ducky. That's a duck, okay? I'm an artist. That's a duck.
A shower, it's very small, and you don't have enough room to lie down,
so you are going to stand up in the shower, okay? It doesn't matter if
you say the verb "take" or "have". So you can say, "I'm going to have a
bath. I'm going to take a bath. Or I'm going to have a shower. I'm going
to take a shower." The other thing that you can say is -- "shower" is
also a verb. So you can say, "I'm going to shower. I'm going to shower."
You can't say, "I'm going to bath, or I'm going to bathtub." Because
"bathtub" and "bath" -- these guys are only nouns, okay? A shower can be
a verb and a noun. English is so confusing sometimes. Even when you're
just trying to be clean. I'll help you. Don't worry.
