Natalie,

    I can't help you out on this one. My Ohio-born wife calls it the

basement [the room(s) underground] but it's "down cellar" to me, even though no

one here seems to recognize that term. Never heard either one used to refer to

the rest room, which was the euphemism when I was in primary school in the

40's.                      DAVID
