washroom(CA) - bathroom (US). When I hear "washroom", I instinctively think of "laundry room", and have so far failed to unlearn that.

He lost his degree and submitted his application with a certificate from the university confirming that the degree was issued but that according to the recipient, the original degree had been lost.
