I hate them! too small, and not always in best condition, why can’t they make them bigger??

Here is a site with some information on them. Did you that the first toilets in airplanes were buckets! as discussed on the site, Information on early flushing systems is not available, however aircraft’s cabin were not pressurized and it was easy to open doors and windows. I do not want to imagine how they got rid of the waste!!!

lavatories

Speaking of lavatory, makes me think of a fire room, or a place where fire is created, if you catch my drift.

From Wiki,

“The term lavatory, abbreviated in slang to lav, derives from the Latin lavātōrium, which in turn comes from Latin lavāre, to wash. It used to refer to a vessel for washing, such as a sink/wash basin, and thus came to mean a room with washing vessels. Since these rooms often also contain toilets, the meaning evolved into its current one, namely the polite and formal euphemism for a toilet and the room containing it. Lavatory is the common signage for toilets on commercial airlines around the world.”

Hmm, lavare, something else in my mind, la Vache Qui Rit, la Vache Qui Rit!!
