Yeah, it’s a typical Flemish expression.
Haha… I thought our ‘spend a penny’ was funny. And ‘going to see a man about a horse’.
One I use quite a lot is ‘going to the tinkle-dinkle-haha room’ (thanks Simpsons!)
Oh look, I found a whole list!
I have a feeling that quite a few of these were made up by the person who wrote the list, but they’re very amusing all the same. “Point Percy at the Porcelain”
In Germany we use some of the too!
Percy?
Really?
What a strange name…
That reminds me of “shoot for the fly” (or something along those lines).
Parking my breakfast
Umm, what?
We also have one other funny expression for that in Belgium:
“I am going to check whether I am still a boy.”
(Used by males only-obviously)
Now we are on this trending topic… (after all TWP has proven we get carried away with toilets and paper orientation) does anyone know why they call a toilet a “john”?
Hello? Anybody there?
Oh crap, they’re all off reading that long list of toilet expressions now…
That list is hilarious.

I’m getting in trouble because I’m supposed to be going to sleep but keep laughing.
Oh crap
does anyone know why they call a toilet a “john”?
I want to know why! Do you know or are you asking us?
‘Backing the big brown motorhome out of the garage’
In Germany we have: “You shouldn’t stop a man if the brown chocolate car is honking…”

That’s very sensible.
Sushi:does anyone know why they call a toilet a “john”?

No I don’t know. It’s not a setup for a joke.
