Euphemistic nonsense.

Tweet

People do tend to fall back on euphemisms when discussing things toilet related. Mercifully. I was mystified growing up hearing ladies say bizarre things, only realising much later what they were actually talking about. The euphemisms I remember best are: I’m going to spend a penny. I’m going to powder my nose. I’m going to wash my hands. And then I was truly confused when I heard a man say that he was going to point Percy at the porcelain. Come on people, just be honest - you’re going to tinkle. What euphemisms for going to the toilet do you recall polite people using?
