Klo =?= loo

  "Toilet" might be the official translation but I'd like to have a
  similar word to the German short and somewhat slang form of "Klo".
  The dictionary presented "loo" but I don't know the word.

I've never heard of "loo" either.  What sort of conotations does the German word contain? Some English conotations:

--"toliet" is a sort of generic term
--"crapper" is crude slang
--"privy", "john", and "facilities" are more polite
