“The bog is a colloquial expression in British English for a toilet. Originally "bog" was used to describe an open cesspit and the word was later applied to the privy connected to it. More wide-spread is the usage bogroll, meaning toilet paper.“

I'm afraid that in British English, a bog is a toilet. So, yeah, some ears just hear what they're used to; mine included.
