    I was talking about writing stuff on the floor and gluing a toilet seat on top of it so I assumed it would be obvious I’m talking about the whole fixture. Google translates it to toilet seat or just toilet. I don’t know what else to call it. To my ear, toilet refers to the room where it’s located.

      Ahh, I see I see.

      Some people call the area the toilet, but most people call it the restroom or bathroom.

      It does make some sense to call the entire fixture the seat, because people refer to it as “The Throne” pretty regularly.

      Thanks for the catheterization

      … My phone just autocorrected “clarification” to “catheterization,” and I’m leaving it.
