Toilet? Bathroom? Head? Latrine? John?
Ten points for the one that sounds the most ridiculous.

Maybe I should have used the word toilet instead of restroom in my question part.
In these parts, the proper word is restroom, but nobody I know goes to take a nap in one.
Toilet sounds about right.
Bathroom...nobody takes baths anymore.
Head, that's an old Brooklyn word.
And John, that's common in parts of New York.
Also, "little girls room" used a lot in New york, for the women, of course.

bathroom, nyc. Not very interesting.
I was suprised its the WC is so many places overseas.
Edited to address you addtional details:
head is a navy word, perhaps you think it has something to do with BK b/c of the navy yards that once florished there, but it isnt.
Also, i dont know where in NY you live, or from whom you get your information from, but i find little girls room, and john to be rather uncommon here, except, well, among non native nyers.

When I lived in Egypt, they called it a water closet or a WC. Here in Philly we call it the restroom, just like you.
