That toilet is not called Water System, neither is it called water cistern. Find out the correct word to use

Your toilet that uses water  is actually not called a 'water cistern'.

Here is why.

Water cistern or cistern is  a reservoir for water in the house.  They supply water to  bathrooms and kitchens.

Usually, here in Nigeria, most people  call water cistern over-head tank.

The toilet in your house is called a flush toilet. It means water is used to flush wastes from it.

When it is a toilet you can sit on,  it is appropriately called 'western toilet'

Also,  those toilets can be called 'water cistern toilets' and not 'water cistern'.

You call them water cistern toilets when a conduit supplies water to the flush toilets through a cistern.

People don't go about defecating in water cisterns. LOL.

Water closet is the outdated name for a flush toilet. Just like prostitute is the outdated name for a whore.

The class is done and dusted.

What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city".
