use the toilet
Visit the bathroom
To use the toilet is to urinate or defecate, a common euphemism that avoids naming the bodily function: Excuse me, I need to use the toilet.
The phrase works in polite company where more direct terms would seem crude.
In American English, *use the bathroom* or *use the restroom* serve the same purpose.
