The euphemisms for toilet is washroom, restroom or the facilities. A euphemism for human defecation could be, " I need to see a man about a dog."

My late mother in law used euphemisms like, her daughter couldn't consumate a marriage, birthday suit, etc.

For me, all this talk about euphemisms is just a load of euphemism.

One of the books that actually changed my life had a euphemism in the title. The sign "Ladies Room" was X-ed out and the words "Women's Room" replaced it. That book, "The Women's Room," changed my entire way of thinking and rocked my world in 1973.
