In the States I've also heard "outhouse". This is a structure in the country without plumbing. I used one as a kid. For goodness sake, never drop a toy into one. If you get it out, if you clean it thoroughly, the toy will never again have the appeal to you it once had.

Also retrete, WC (water closet), inodoro, sanitario, excusado, etc. In Costa Rica, when someone tells you he is sorry, you tell him "Estás excusado". It's just a little "potty humor".
