I want to go to the toilet.

I remember a classic saying from my college classmates that I want to make cakes.

It was later passed down as a much-told story. The classmates who have been here for many years all want to hear her special usage.

It seems nothing to say "I need to go to the toilet" directly, but it always makes people feel a little unsightly, especially girls. In Chinese, we have many euphemisms for this, such as "convenience", "convenience" and "going to the toilet". Similarly, in American English, there are many euphemisms for this meaning. If you don't know, it's easy to make jokes in communication.

1. I need to go somewhere.

Don't answer this sentence as: you can go wherever you want. Then there will be a big joke. I need to go somewhere. It means "I have to go to the toilet". When a foreigner says this, just tell him where the bathroom is.

I want to wash my hands.

Have you ever noticed that girls say "I'm going to wash my hands" when eating with them? The implied meaning of this sentence is also "I want to go to the toilet". In English, this sentence is "I want to wash my hands." A polite sentence for girls is "I'm going to mend my nose." This is a very implicit statement. And "I want to/need to go to (or use) the bathroom/lounge." It's a common euphemism, not as high as the above two.

I need to respond to the call of nature.

A more elegant way of saying it is "to relieve myself", so going to the toilet becomes "to relieve myself". Sometimes some older ladies will say "I need to stop". In fact, "pit stop" refers to the place where the car stops to refuel on the way. It seems that they must treat solving the problem as an "emergency maintenance".

4. I have to pee.

Euphemism has been said, and we should also know some slang and direct expressions in spoken English. These expressions often appear in some TV dramas and movies, such as "I need to pee." Or "I have to pee" or "I need to shit", but these expressions are very rude and are usually widely used by children or people with low education.

Speaking of this, some people may ask, what should I say if I have to go to the toilet in class, meeting, listening to reports and attending banquets? In fact, in any occasion, you need to use the bathroom, just go and don't say hello to anyone. As Americans say, "If you want to go, you have to go."
