Sense 5 is currently tagged as a euphemism:
Yet none of the definitions at toilet are tagged as euphemisms, despite, "From its use as a private room, toilet came to refer euphemistically to lavatories and then to its fixtures, beginning in the United States in the late 19th century.". That doesn't strike me as consistent.
