N'ah, its th lower middles who feel the need to avoid them. ''Toilet'' was a banned word in my house. Posh grandmother wrote a note to one of my schools demanding they stopr teaching it and take down the signs on the door. Saying it got you a spanking, but you culd say almost any other word for the loo....so long as it wasnt a middle class nicity. a spade is a spade for the lower classes, move up (jumping a bit) and a !!!!!! is a !!!!!!. I was amazed the first time I heard people using euphamisms as a command to their dog...we just tell the dogs to go outside and wee.
