comfort break
Quick toilet visit
A comfort break is a pause in an activity—a meeting, journey, or event—so people can use the toilet.
The term is a polite euphemism common in British English and professional settings: We'll take a fifteen-minute comfort break before the next session.
Sometimes extended to include stretching legs or getting refreshments.
