Loo x Water Closet x Closet x W.C.
Hello, dears.
I looked at Vocabulary.com (such a reliable dictionary) and onto it I found out that water closet, W.C., closet and loo had all the same exact meaning: a toilet in Britain.
So, I wonder whether there is or not a difference between these words, grammatically or no difference? Please, I'd really appreciate your help. (And by the way, I do recommend you that site).
Regards.

I would say that "loo" is the most used, I think that men´s room/john is used too regardless of wich size of the pond you are (the US or the UK.), and will be understood. Closet I have not seen much, and water closet is passé (outdated of sorts).

On the 68th floor, dubbed the “cloudscape” for the cloud patterns that dance across its windows, it is worth going to the “loo with a view” for sheer novelty value (huge windows in the toilets afford magnificent open views over the city). From this level, a flight of stairs leads to the first viewing gallery on floor 69.
Let´s wait more comments on this fascinating subject.
See you, bloke.
