Everybody has to use the bathroom (except when they don't), but sometimes "I have to use the bathroom" doesn't exactly cut it in terms of polite conversation. In cases like this, sometimes a euphemism will suffice. Generally speaking, these euphemisms are intended to get the point across in a hilariously creative way, so some of the descriptions can be very unconventional. Common phrases include "see a man about a horse,"note Although that can also be used for other embarrassing things like going to buy a drink. "use the little boys/girls room", and "powder my nose". Sub-trope of Unusual Euphemism. Contrast Calling Your Bathroom Breaks. Compare Deadly Euphemism, Gay Euphemism, and Sexual Euphemism. Contrast with I Need to Go Iron My Dog. May come as a result of a Potty Emergency or overlap with Technical Euphemism. If the character has an accident, then this can devolve into Potty Failure, or, if they were scared, Bring My Brown Pants. If no one ever "goes to the euphemism", then Nobody Poops. Not to be confused with Gosh Dang It to Heck!. |

In episode 8 of Blend-S, Hideri has a Potty Emergency and says he has to go "pick some flowers." Miu repeatedly corrects Hideri by saying he's going off to "use the restroom," but Hideri doesn't agree, claiming that as an Idol Singer (Hideri's role at the Cosplay Cafe), he doesn't "use the restroom." | |

Played with in the White Collar episode "Hard Sell"; If you had any doubt as to how criminal Caffrey is, his vernacular breaks the silence thusly: This is immediately followed by Neal snooping amongst the Burke family photos, for signs of Peter being the man with the ring. |

A The Two Ronnies sketch has Robbie Corbet, as a party guest, attempt to ask his host, Ronnie Barker where the lavatory is, but foiled by the Literal-Minded Barker (the "smallest room" is a utility cupboard, the "little boy's room" is his son's bedroom, and even the bathroom only contains a bath), until he finally shouts "I want to go to the lavatory!" Barker then responds "Ah, sit on a doughnut in Granny's greenhouse." | |

In the Star Trek Expanded Universe novel Battlestations!, the lead character Piper finds that she suddenly and urgently needs to use the head while on the bridge during a tense situation. She asks Spock, who is currently in the captain's chair, "Permission to step updeck?" and is very thankful that he (almost) immediately understands the request. | |

In a Terry Gilliam segment from Monty Python's Flying Circus, a woman excuses herself from a conversation by saying she has to "powder her nose". The camera follows her to the door, and then sits there as we listen to about twelve seconds of horrifying bathroom noises. | |

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: In the first book, Greg says that Fregley has his own "language". When he wants to go to the bathroom, he screams "juice". The kids figured out the meaning behind the word, but the teachers take it literally. The PE teacher gives him a bottle of juice. In "Hard Luck", Greg refers to Rebel the dog's poop as his "landmines". Also, he refers to a horse pooping as it "unloading". |

The Bolt Chronicles: In "The Cakes," Mittens peevishly puts forth a Hurricane of Euphemisms for doing a bowel movement in Monty Python "Dead-parrot-sketch" fashion. Her litter box is located in the laundry room, and Bolt misunderstands her initial veiled explanations regarding why she was there. Once the dog finally figures things out, he supplies an unusual contribution of his own. | |

South Park: In "Death", the parents of South Park protest against The Terence and Philip Show for its Toilet Humor, but are also suffering from a stomach ailment that is giving them all diarrhea. In a blatant case of Hypocritical Humor, they keep using jokey phrases to describe their diarrhea, like "I just dropped the kids at the pool" and "I just had a brown baby boy." | |

House of Anubis: During the "Donkey Day" festivities, one of the money-raising events is a challenge called the "Wonky Donkey"; it requires two characters to spend the day with their legs tied together. Alfie and Amber attempt it together, but the situation is complicated by Amber having drunk a lot of water that morning. She calls her bathroom shots by awkwardly whistling, which Alfie later copies when he has to explain why Amber is no longer tied to him. | |

In the Mog book "Mog's Bad Thing", the eponymous cat pees on Mr. Thomas's chair, yet the narration never outright says so, referring to it instead as "doing a bad thing". | |

Cheaper by the Dozen: Dad and Mother consider public restrooms so diseased that they take the children into the woods to relieve themselves instead. To maintain delicacy, they come up with two euphemisms for it: "visiting Mrs. Murphy" (which is the name of the chapter) and "examining the rear tire." | |
