Vater

I had to replace my toilet seat today because the plastic nuts and bolts that held it to the ceramic throne were old and wasn't keeping the seat in place anymore.

I realized when I was thinking about going to the store, I don't know the word for 'toilet'. I can honestly say I've never had an indepth conversation about the bathroom, so I've never actually had to use it.

The same thing happened to me years ago when I realized I never really learned the word for scissors (tijeras btw).

We'll mystery solved, the word for toilet is ... water?

Okay, technically it is spelled and pronounced as 'váter', but still.

The word most of us would have learned in school is 'inodoro.'
