Yesterday I chatted with a realtor at a house on the market — no, I am not considering a move, but I enjoy seeing what is out there — and I mentioned that the house would be more desirable if it had a powder room on the ground floor.

'Do you mean half-bath?' she asked.

I told her yes, and, of course, immediately felt rather old, since this real estate professional in her mid 30s had never heard the phrase 'powder room', which at one time was a common way of speaking about a room with only a toilet and sink on the ground floor of a home that would be made available for company.

So I thought I would conduct a little poll here on Mastodon to gauge familiarity with the phrase 'powder room' in the sense of 'room with toilet and sink on ground floor for guests'. Please feel free to share.
