The word toilet can be used to refer to the fixture itself or the room containing it; the latter predominates mainly in British and Commonwealth usage. In North American English the word toilet refers solely to the fixture itself and not to the room that contains it, thus asking for the "toilet" would seem indecent. Instead, the terms bathroom, rest room, washroom or men's room/ladies room are preferred.
