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 (1330 words)
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.
