Toilets are often referred to as "johns" due to the historical association with the name John. One theory is that it originated from "John Harrington," who invented the flush toilet in the 16th century. Another suggestion is that the term came from "john," a common name for men in England, which eventually became slang for public restrooms. This usage solidified over time, leading to the colloquial term "john" for toilets.
