Some Fresh Slang!
I am at a store in the mall when a young boy comes up to the employee next to me. We’re in Australia.
Boy: “Do you have a fresher?”
Employee: “I’m sorry, what was that?”
Boy: “I need to go to the fresher.”
The employee looks around for whoever in charge but sees no one.
Boy: “Toilet, bathroom, restroom, water closet? What do you call it? My dad said ask for a fresher.”
Employee: “Oh, you are looking for a toilet. Closest one is across and a few stores to your left.”
Boy: “You call it toilet here, too? My dad says words are all different down here.”
Employee: “That’s true that words can be different, but I never heard of toilets being called freshers here.”
Boy: “Okay! And thanks!”
The boy starts running off, yelling.
Boy: “Daddy! They are called toilets!”
