Same reason they call a shower a rain locker
In the "olden days", they didn't have toilets (I'm assuming you mean the porcelain fixture that you urinate and/or defecate into). Some terms that I'm aware of from when they were first becoming popular: sanitary facility, water closet, wc.
In the 1940s, people commonly referred to the toilet as the "water closet," or simply "WC." Other colloquial terms included "lavatory," "bathroom," and "loo." The terminology varied by region and social context, but these were among the most frequently used terms during that time.

They call it a Quaer.
Restroom, loo, water closet, toilet, and others. The slang term is john... women call it the Jane but it was originally called the Crapper after its inventor. Action phrases vary, as in: I have to whiz, take a dump, pinch a loaf, etc.

Call a plumber
That varies based on locality, but you're probably looking in the $175-$250 range to have a plumber do it. It's really not that hard to do though, if you want to save the money. You just turn off the water supply, flush the toilet, use a shopvac to suck out any remaining water from the tank and bowl, disconnect the water supply line, remove the closet bolts that hold the toilet to the floor, lift the toilet off of the floor, remove the old wax from the discharge pipe and the bottom of the toilet, place the new ring on the flange of the discharge pipe, seat the toilet over the discharge pipe, press firmly to ensure a good seal, connect the closet bolts, connect the supply line, turn the water back on, check for supply leaks, wait for the tank to fill, test the toilet, check for leaks, and you're done! On second thought... maybe you do want to call a plumber....
if you mean the toilet floor gasket, that is about 1 hour labour. Call 3 local plumbers and ask for rate
funnily enough,we call them guinea pigs!lol
We brits call it a nappy.
If the toilet overflows, first turn off the water supply to the toilet by turning the valve behind the toilet. Then, use a plunger to try and unclog the toilet. If that doesn't work, call a plumber for help. Clean up any water and disinfect the area to prevent any contamination.
