EducationRe: Here's The Reason Toilets Are Called Restrooms by moscobabs(m): 11:27am On Oct 10, 2017
BaesDiary:
Do people actually rest in the toilets? So, why are toilets called restrooms?

Would you be comfortable in a public to say that you want to defecate or even urinate? The answer is obviously a NO!


Have you heard of euphemism? Euphemism is a mild, indirect, or vague expression for words or expressions thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt. For example,  “To pass away” is a euphemism for “to die.”

Restroom, washroom, and bathroom are euphemisms to disguise the fact that you want to 'poo' or 'piss'. In public places, these rooms do not have baths, so we say restroom or washroom.

Another euphemism for the toilets could be 'ladies' or 'gents'. Actually, at a time, rooms were dedicated for ladies to adjust their corsets in public places, hence they were called restrooms.


So, now you know the reasons toilets are called restrooms..... EUPHEMISM!

CrimeWhat Qualifies Someone To Be Called Terrorist?(photos) by moscobabs(op): 1:55pm On Oct 05, 2017
Without any religion affiliation what qualifies someone to be called terrorist?

examples:

1) On the afternoon of 17 August 2017, 22-year-old Younes Abouyaaqoub drove a van into pedestrians on La Rambla in Barcelona, Spain, killing 13 people and injuring at least 130 others, one of whom died 10 days later on 27 August.A

Abouyaaqoub was termed Terrorist

2) On the evening of October 1, 2017, a mass shooting occurred at the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, a town adjacent to Las Vegas, Nevada. During the closing performance by singer Jason Aldean, a gunman opened fire on the outdoor festival crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay resort and casino.

The shooter, whose motive remains unknown, was 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada. After firing into the crowd for almost 11 minutes, he was found dead in his hotel room with a self-inflicted gunshot wound With 59 deaths (including the perpetrator) and 489 injuries, the massacre is the deadliest mass shooting by a lone shooter in U.S. history.

Yet Stephen Paddock has not been termed Terrorist

So what makes someone a terroristhuh

The agitators should please join us to lift this country especially the youths ''Nigeria Unity is our strength''

You can't believe all these were found in my Uncle's compound , the plants are green while the Animals are healthy . How I wish everyone in Nigeria have this type of Garden in their backyard.

No doubt, Nigeria is blessed. Nigeria can only survive if we take agriculture serious

The land is fertile

nawa for you moscobabs so you cant take a joke again? try and do the calculation as stated buying small quantity of fuel and using the guage as reading can sometimes be misleading.
