What Does the “WC” Sign Mean?

A couple from TikTok, Shelby and Dylan, shared a video in 2020, where they were talking about the difference between Americans and Canadians.

“What in the world is a washroom?” Dylan asked. “And what are they washing in there? Oh, it’s a restroom. The only thing I wash in there is my hands,” he then continued.

Then Shelby asked, “Do you rest in a restroom?”

“That’s a good point. They both don’t make much sense,” Dylan said.

As the Mirriam Webster’s Dictionary explained, “water closet” is a noun which describes, “a compartment or room with a toilet” or “a toilet bowl and its accessories.”

In short, it means “WC.”

In Reddit, a user asked to other users, “Why is a public WC called bathroom if there is [no] bath?”

A Redditor commented under, “Americans might similarly ask: ‘Why is it called a WC (water closet) if it isn’t even a closet?”

“In Russian it’s ‘a room without windows’ even if there actually is a window,” then a different Redditor shared, “In Esperanto, it’s necesejo, or ‘necessary place’”

“Doesn’t Look Like Keanu,” People Are Concerned About the Latest Photos of Keanu Reeves

Keanu Reeves is accelerating his journey in the world of professional motorsport, recently participating in a racing series for hobbyists at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While fans were excited to see him embrace this new passion, many expressed concerns for his safety amid the high-speed competition.

The 60-year-old actor competed in the Toyota GR Cup over the weekend. Among 33 competitors, Reeves secured 25th position in Race 1 on Saturday and improved to 24th in Race 2 on Sunday.

Reeves raced in the No. 92 BRZRKR vehicle, a nod to his graphic novel “The Book of Elsewhere,” co-written with China Miéville. Released in July, the novel is a continuation of Reeves’ BRZRKR comic book series, which began in 2021.

During Saturday’s race, Reeves spun into the grass just past the halfway mark of the 45-minute event. Despite the mishap, he avoided any crashes and remained unharmed, rejoining the race shortly after.

Worried fans swiftly took to social media, expressing their reactions after witnessing the incident during the actor’s race. One fan emotionally remarked, ’’Hope he is OK,’’ while another person emphatically urged, ’’PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.’’ A third worriedly added, ’’Don’t get hurt!’’

Some fans noted that Reeves doesn’t look quite like he usually does, “This doesn’t look like Keanu Reeves?” However, he’s probably just tired, as racing is quite an exhausting sport. On the other hand, most people were generous with their praise. One wrote, “I’m proud of him. He’s doing what loves and enjoys doing. Live life to your fullest. Great job Keenu!” Another added, “I think it’s really cool that he’s interested in so many different things and puts himself out there and TRIED! More than most people can say, plus, we all have our off days. Keep on keepin’ on, Mr. Reeves!” It’s no wonder they say that Keanu Reeves has no haters.
