The throne, John, "sitting down", "dropping cargo" are rather harmless examples. I have marked this NSFW as a precaution. 🫣

Do your best and your worst.

I read a while back at the other site that we've all flocked away from. This person's first language was clearly not English, though I have no idea what it was.

Anyway, he direct translated what is commonly said in his language and I found it hilarious.

Drum roll please...

"I needed to empty my ass".

I'm my local dialect of Arabic we say some hilarious expressions for peeing including:

I'm going to fly some water (like flying a kite)
I'm answering nature's call
I'm paying the judge.

My favorite term for pooping in nature when we go hiking was:

Planting a mine

Was that last one some self-deprecating humor?

Not really an answer to the question, but does anyone else think that the phrases "take a shit" and "give a shit" seem swapped? You say you're gonna take a shit when you are giving one to the toilet, and you say you don't give a shit when you are unwilling to take shit.

An old timey one I heard was 'I need to see a man about a horse' and one I've actually heard people use was 'I need to drop the kids off at the pool.'

"Practicing the tuba" is my go-to with peers, but if I need to be delicate I might say someone "had to step into another room for a minute". To my family, I say "I'm going to sit down upstairs for a little while" and they know what I mean.
