NextImg:Washroom vs. restroom: Why do Canadians say one and Americans the other?

A recent video of a couple visiting Canada has revealed a major difference between Canadians and Americans.

The video posted online by American content creators and husband and wife duo Shelby and Dylan Reese had 1.9 million views on TikTok and almost 6,000 comments on Thursday. The pair noticed a word they weren’t familiar with when they crossed the border into Canada.

“What in the world is a washroom?” Dylan says facing the camera, as he walks by sign that says “washroom.”

“And what are they washing in there? Oh, it’s a restroom. The only thing I wash in there is my hands.”

Off-camera, a woman’s voice can be heard asking: “Do you rest in a restroom?”

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