What does LOO mean in Scrabble?
noun
informalBritish
A lavatory — the everyday word for it in Britain.
Loo is the ordinary British word — mild enough for a dinner table and specific enough to be unmistakable — and nobody agrees where it came from. A French warning cry, a card game, a brand of cistern and a corrupted place name have all been argued for. It appears suddenly in the 1930s with no trail behind it, which is unusual for a word so common.
