go potty

Visit the bathroom

Go potty is child-directed language for using the toilet: Do you need to go potty?

The phrase belongs to the vocabulary parents use with toddlers during toilet training.

Adults may use it humorously or self-consciously when discussing bathroom needs in casual settings.
