goes to the bathroom
Uses the toilet
Goes to the bathroom is a common euphemism for urinating or defecating, used to avoid direct mention of bodily functions in polite conversation.
The phrase references the room where toilets are located rather than the act itself.
The dog goes to the bathroom in the backyard.
Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom.
It applies regardless of whether an actual bathroom is involved.
