Weirdly, I was thinking the bathroom was the room with the bath in it, rather than one with toilets and no bath whatsoever. Missed 'stall' because I wasn't in American mode.

'Cubicle' actually crossed my mind (but it obviously didn't fit with the other part of the clue) - didn't think about the american word for it :/

Same here, and I've never heard of a rush (in the fraternity sense). Of course I have heard of fraternities in American films, but not terms for their rituals.

ditto, only the US, i think, is shy enough to call a toilet a bathroom....

Everyone says toilet though. Even signs will say Toilets these days (these days being the last few decades)

Most American bathrooms have a bath (with shower) and a toilet in it. Although there are variations. One with just a toilet is usually called a half-bath.

so when you are in a store, or amusementpark or whatever, library, and you go to the bathroom/toilet, they have a bath in there? that seems... unlikely... (or on a train, imagine that !)

Actually, public toilets like that we would usually call a "restroom."

In England they’re called homophones not whatever this is

Homophones is something else, sort of the opposite, they sound the same but are written differently. You can keep the words apart, by looking at the last part -phone is used in things having to do with sound.

Tail and tale is an example of a homphone.

It can be kind of confusing. When I first saw this quiz, I didn't think those were actual homonyms because I was thinking of homophones only. So, of course, I had to look it up. In English, homonym is a word that sounds the same as another word but differs in meaning. Homonyms can refer to both homophones and homographs.

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning and is spelled differently.

Homographs are words with the same spelling but having more than one meaning.

Usually when I am about to say something that is obviously wrong, I try to not to preface it with my nationality, thereby tarring an entire country with my ignorance.

"Let me just say, as a Belgian, that waffles are quite healthy".

I don't think that the term "star" for an actor is a homonym of the celestial "star". Are the words not related? Isn't a movie star just a metaphor? They are like a sparkling ray of light, right? That's why we call them movie "stars" in the first place, because those people reminded Chaucer of stars in the sky.

Got stumped by the bathroom one because "bathroom stall" is an exclusively American term! We call them cubicles, or toilet cubicles, or just toilets.

In the UK ofc
