little boys' room
Male lavatory, informally
Little boys' room is a coy euphemism for a men's restroom, typically used when excusing oneself from company: If you'll pardon me, I need to visit the little boys' room.
The phrase treats the speaker as childlike, adding false innocence to a bodily function.
The parallel little girls' room exists for women.
