Are there any euphemistic or slang
expressions for 'going to the toilet'?
Go see my uncle????
BTW, 'go to toilet' or 'go to the toiolet'?
Thank you.

Go to the toilet.
We can say, go to the john,
go to the washroom, go to the restroom, go to the little boy's room, and I'm sure there are more. We really don't say "Go to the toilet" very often because it's not considered very polite. (American English)
