It's a term from the corporate business world, and a play on the fact that all the cogs are based on business personalities. When you get into the upper ranks of corporate executives (usually Vice President or higher), you get access to exclusive facilities that only the top brass can use, usually including lounges, washrooms, etc, all with the lavish accessories one would expect if you were a Top Cog (

). Access to this area is via a key issued to the top brass as part of their perks. In TT, when you reach Holly 50, your HW 50 suit is your 'key' to the ability to fight the VP anytime you want, no merits required. This is the exclusive bonus for reaching Hollywood 50, much like the corporate bonus of getting the key to the executive lounge after you reach Vice President or higher. That's why they call it a 'washroom key', for it is your 'perk' for working your way to the top.
