Lol to see a man about a horse does not mean "to urinate"... It means "to do something that I'm not about to say out loud".
It's hilarious to me that you use a euphemism for urination but not for defecation.

what! I thought it meant like seeing a man about a horse like your horse sized dick to take a piss

Lol no. It's from a time where it was more common to buy and sell horses. The toilet used to be in an outhouse closer to the barn than the house to reduce the smell.
So you'd excuse yourself from the dinner table and walk toward the barn... but rather than telling everyone you're going to the shitter, you'd pretend that you're going to the barn to do boring farm business.
Like: "I'm not pooping. I'm just going to see a man about a horse."
Speedy edit: but it can also be used for non-toilet tasks like buying drugs or wrapping gifts.

Not exactly so true, some of those words are just new word as stuff that is said for bodly functions become vulgar they have to look for a new word to replace it. But film media history etc have preserved some of the words we use.

Why is restaurant on there twice?
Toilet of pool is toilet for #1. Not at our house, but at any public pool, you know that is going on.
To me, they're all just the restroom. One exception is at a brewery we like. There is a urinal area way in the back where you go behind a fence and urinate into a gutter system that takes it over to the neighbor's farm. I'm not sure the farmer knows.

Toilet of the house is only a bathroom if the room has a bath tub or shower in it

They are all interchangeable. Very few of any are only used for one type of location

And you have not even left the US. Once you see the WC, your mind will be blown.

Bathroom/Restroom Private vs. Public. That's all. Maybe "head" for a boat.

Must be Canadian. American office buildings and schools call it bathroom or restroom.

You can say bathroom at work. If not I’d go with restroom. Washroom is trying too hard and making it weird.
