What does WC stand for? While we commonly say “bathroom” or “restroom,” WC means “water closet.” Historically,

bathrooms were for bathing, restrooms for freshening up, and the water closet was for using the toilet.

Social media users have shared their surprise about this revelation, with one saying, “I was 23 when I learned WC stands for water closet.”

Another added, “At least you’re not 27.”

On another bathroom-related note, stand-up comedian Freddy Quinne went viral for explaining the unspoken “urinal rule” every guy supposedly knows.

If there are five urinals, always pick the first or last. If those are taken, go for the middle. Urinals two and four are only acceptable if the others are occupied.

This ensures personal space and avoids awkwardness. Freddy’s insight resonated with many men who agree on this unwritten rule.
