Things you refuse to call by their new name

Was at a social gathering a few months back and someone said they had 5 children here on earth.....
Straight away I said "how many do you have on other planets?"
And the reply was "we have 2 in heaven who are no longer with us" and I dug a hole and climbed in ha ha
You could have dug a bit deeper with "How do you know they're in heaven and not the other place?"
 
If British people use the Americanism, bathroom, when they they actually mean toilet, I feel murderous!

I need to get out more.

Ha ha this reminded me of a funny story when I was on shore leave in Tampa Florida. Wandering around a large store I needed to go to the toilet. Every employee I asked where it was looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. Frowned faces and repeating back to me, "Toilet?? Toilet??" Finally in exasperation I had to mimic the act of having a pee. The penny finally dropped as they said, "Ahh you mean the bathroom!!" No I meant the fucking toilet lol. They also use the term restroom too.
