What are the words you know or use for the toilet and the activities you associate with it?

The throne, John, "sitting down", "dropping cargo" are rather harmless examples. I have marked this NSFW as a precaution. 🫣

Do your best and your worst.

Not really an answer to the question, but does anyone else think that the phrases "take a shit" and "give a shit" seem swapped? You say you're gonna take a shit when you are giving one to the toilet, and you say you don't give a shit when you are unwilling to take shit.
I read a while back at the other site that we've all flocked away from. This person's first language was clearly not English, though I have no idea what it was.
Anyway, he direct translated what is commonly said in his language and I found it hilarious.
Drum roll please...
"I needed to empty my ass".
- I'm my local dialect of Arabic we say some hilarious expressions for peeing including:
  I'm going to fly some water (like flying a kite)
  I'm answering nature's call
  I'm paying the judge.
  My favorite term for pooping in nature when we go hiking was:
  Planting a mine
  
  Was that last one some self-deprecating humor?
I'll be in my office downloading some files.

"Practicing the tuba" is my go-to with peers, but if I need to be delicate I might say someone "had to step into another room for a minute". To my family, I say "I'm going to sit down upstairs for a little while" and they know what I mean.
