Talking about going to the toilet in English can feel… awkward 😅
But it doesn’t have to be.
In this lesson, you’ll learn how to sound natural, polite, and appropriate in different situations—whether you’re at work, on a date, or with friends.
Inspired by a conversation on The Mel Robbins Podcast with Dr. Trisha Pasricha, this is a no-shame, real English lesson about something we all experience… but rarely talk about.
✅ In this video, you’ll learn:
✔️ Polite vs casual ways to say you need the bathroom
✔️ What to say in professional situations (without embarrassment)
✔️ Informal expressions native speakers actually use
✔️ Useful health vocabulary (like diarrhea, bloating, constipation)
✔️ Common mistakes English learners make (and how to fix them)
✔️ Why this topic feels taboo—and how it affects communication
⚠️ A quick note about informal/slang phrases:
Some expressions in this video are informal or slang.
They’re useful to understand, but not always appropriate to use in professional or formal situations.
👉 Always choose your language based on the situation.
💬 Let’s talk!
👉 Which expression do you use most in English?
👉 Do you have a funny or polite euphemism in your language?
Write it in the comments—I’d love to read them!
✨ Bonus question:
Do you know another English euphemism for “going to the toilet” that I didn’t include? 👀
🧠 Remember:
We’re not born embarrassed—
we learn it.
And the more comfortable you are with real-life English,
the more confident you’ll sound.
