@scottalanmiller Yes I guess just like for example a friend from our country visited to Canada "her nephew told her that Don't use C.R (comfort room) if you want to go to wash room, ladies room or etc. They went to Shopping center/ Mall
She said. " Excuse me where is the Bathroom?

It's English, actually. Just really rare. It is late-middle English and a word not used here but must have been retained there: late Middle English: from Old French viande ‘food,’ from an alteration of Latin vivenda, neuter plural gerundive of vivere ‘to live.’
