If you go to europe now is it inethical to use the term to spend a penny when you need the toilet,?

Question

do we need to call it EUROnating instead

Answer 1

I've seen this on 2 other sites, it's an old joke now!

You should never say 'spend a penny' in any other country, they wouldn't understand anyway, try learning to say the equivalent in their language!

Answer 2

Not inethical, just insensitive to pee-ples basic needs

Answer 3

Never. I see what You did there. Technically, the european equivalent to the penny is the cent.

Perhaps unethical - not inethical !!

Answer 8

It will cost you 50c to 1 Euro.to go to public bathrooms in Germany. However you usually get a coupon from the money machine for a free coffee or treat from the snack bar. The toilets are extremely clean and in some toilets after you finish your business the toilet seats start rotating on their own underneath a cleaning pad.
