Euphemisms for going to the bathroom?

The description of the Feb 21 show includes the line "euphemisms for going to the bathroom." But wait a minute isn't "going to the bathroom" a euphemism itself, after all you're not going to take a "bath" and who really cares if there's a tub in the little room or not! Sounds a little recursive to me.
