The necessary room

Americans tend to use euphemisms when referring to the room with the toilet.  The ladies/mens room...the powder room...even 'bathroom' is usually not completely accurate.  Europeans call it the water closet or just WC.

In New Zealand there is no such mincing around the point.

The same in Spanish: in Mexico it is "el excusado" or "inedora" not "el Ba~no". So there.
