I have always wondered, is it actually rude to say "toilet" in the US?

Depends

"I need to use the toilet" = fine

"I gotta take a huge shat in the toilet like there's no tomorrow. Oh man, I should not have eaten that old burrito!" = not so fine

We do, but we call it the "restroom" which makes no sense because people don't rest in there. Why would anyone want to rest in the same room where everyone poops?
