[quote=Anonymous]Someone in another thread said this was a very "suburban" term. I don't get it. It dates back to Victorian times, and I've always referred to the half bath on any first floor as a powder room, both as a kid and as an adult. I wouldn't ask, "May I use your powder room?" (I'd say bathroom), but if my husband asked, "Have you seen XYZ?" I might say, "I think I saw it in the powder room." I suppose to distinguish it from the master bath, the kids' bath, or the guest bath. Do you use this term? Why is it "suburban?"[/quote]
