Date: 2003-12-05 05:15 pm (UTC)As for your #28, I bet they mean bathroom, but don't want to slant people's answers by saying so. They should say "place where you relieve yourself" or something. Besides, while I can think of a bunch of names for the bathroom, (W.C., loo, little girls'/boys' room, toilet), I can't think of any others for bedroom. Except boudoir. And then only if it's done up harem-style. ;)

I didn't know the name of this either! I know what it looks like though -- like a curly fern.
