The Most Important Room in the House?

Some people call this room “The most important room in the house”, others jokingly call it the Throne* Room, there are many names for this room, some of which are vulgar and I would never use. I’ve been told I visit this room everywhere I go and should write a guidebook even 😂. What room are we talking about here? Yes, the toilet!
