Lavatory 3

This has its origins in the Latin "lavatorium" which gives it a sense of classical value I suppose.

Just be grateful that the Latin word for passageway in a theatre never caught on. I can just imagine what some folks would do in a "vomitorium."

When the put upper decks on the football stadium in Winnipeg back in the 70's the architects referred to the spiral ramps to the second level as the vomitorium and it did catch on for a time. Not because it sounded classy, but because people liked the ironic humour of it.
