Only if you ‘mean’ toilet and cigarette.
I thought fag was slang for cigarette in the UK (but looked it up to be sure)
Loo I knew was slang for toilet/ restroom/ ‘the head’/ the John/ the can / potty / porcelain bowl
Idioms and language are funny
boot = ‘das boot’ boat in German, the trunk of a car in England , ‘get the boot’ is get fired/terminated/discharged/laid off in the US
trunk = elephant trunk, suitcase,
terminated = fired, killed
So you don’t want to confuse the tea cup with the loo
