little boys room

Gentlemen's toilet, euphemistically

Little boys room is a coy euphemism for a men's restroom, typically used when excusing oneself: I need to visit the little boys room.

The phrase sounds deliberately childish and old-fashioned, often deployed with self-aware humor.

Little girls room is the parallel term for women's restrooms.
