Awards, refers to public toilets collectively as "away-from-home" toilets. In Philippine English, "comfort room", or "C.R.", is the most common term in use. Some European languages used words cognate with "toilet" (e.g. les toilettes in French), or the initialism "W.C.", an abbreviation for "water closet", an older term for the flush toilet. Public urinals (pissoir) are known in several Romance languages by the name of a Roman Emperor: vespasienne in French, vespasiani in Italian, and vespasiene in Romanian. Mosques, madrassas (schools), and other places Muslims gather, have public sex-separated "ablution rooms" since Islam requires specific procedures for cleansing parts of the body before prayer.

Types Many public toilets are permanent small buildings visible to passers-by on the street. Others are underground, including older facilities in Britain and Canada.

Squat toilets are used all over the world, but are particularly common in many Asian and African countries, as well as Southern European Countries. In many of those countries, anal cleansing with water is also the cultural norm and easier to perform than with toilets used in a sitting position. Another traditional type that has been modernized is the screened French street urinal known as a pissoir (vespasienne). An updated cylindrical toilet that lowers beneath street level out of the way and pops up during hours when it is needed is the telescopic toilet. It is typically installed in entertainment districts and is operational only during weekends, evenings and nights. The first such toilet was a telescopic urinal invented in the Netherlands, which now also offers a pop-up toilet for women. Private firms may maintain permanent public toilets.
