Does "toilet paper roll" refer to a roll of toilet paper, or that cardboard center tube that toilet paper is wrapped around?
  

Top answer

I think most people will never say a "toilet paper roll" but "a roll of toilet tissues", which refers to the whole roll of tissue, including the cardboard tube in the center.

It refers to a roll of toilet paper. The other thing is called "the cardboard tube that the toilet paper is wrapped around"!
