	loo (1) definition - Dictionary - MSN Encarta
		loo (1) definition - Dictionary - MSN Encarta
		The most widely claimed source of loo is gardy loo (based on pseudo-French gare de l'eau "mind the water"), used in 18th-century Edinburgh to warn passers-by when a chamber pot was about to be emptied into the street below.
		However, this is chronologically unlikely, as there is no evidence of loo being used for "toilet" before the 1930s.

	Parlett's Historic Card Games: Loo
		Loo was a trivial and once disreputable trick-taking game for five or more players.
		Loo, under various spellings, is short for Lanterloo, which in turn (under equally various spellings) is from the French lenturlu, a meaningless refrain used in lullabies, equivalent to 'lullay, lulloo'.
		In Unlimited Loo it is the amount currently in the pool, which enables it to reach astronomic proportions in a short space of time, often resulting in the sort of spectacular ruins that gave the game such a bad reputation in the 18th and 19th centuries.

	Why do they call it the loo? (kottke.org)
		We probably get the word "loo" from this expression, although some people think it comes from "Room 100" which is what European people used to call the bathroom.
		Or it could be "a British mispronunciation of the French le lieu, "the place", a euphemism." Maybe loo is short for bordalou, "a portable commode carried by eighteenth century ladies in their muffs" (!!).
		But Adams has no definitive answer either and so the question of the etymology of loo will continue to be debated on the Internet and in pubs around the world.

	World Wide Words: Loo
		So that seems to dismiss entirely the theory that it comes from the habit of the more caring British housewives, in the days before plumbing, of warning passers-by on the street below with the cry “Gardy loo!” before throwing the contents of their chamber pots out of upstairs windows.
		But James Joyce may equally well have derived the expression as a punning reference to the battle of Waterloo, from the sequence: water closet — waterloo — loo.
		Or it may be that several linguistic forces converged to create the new word.
