So, I think we're referring to two different things. Here, a toilet seat is the little bit that folds up and down and you put your butt on it and it bolts to the top side of the rear of the toilet bowl rim.
Sounds like you may be talking about either squatting toilets or referring to the entire fixture as a seat? Or I'm just confused. Either is equally likely.
I was talking about writing stuff on the floor and gluing a toilet seat on top of it so I assumed it would be obvious I'm talking about the whole fixture. Google translates it to toilet seat or just toilet. I don't know what else to call it. To my ear, toilet refers to the room where it's located.
Ahh, I see I see.
Some people call the area the toilet, but most people call it the restroom or bathroom.
It does make some sense to call the entire fixture the seat, because people refer to it as "The Throne" pretty regularly.
Thanks for the catheterization
... My phone just autocorrected "clarification" to "catheterization," and I'm leaving it.
