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! ![]()

We also have one other funny expression for that in Belgium:
“I am going to check whether I am still a boy.”

That list is hilarious.
