I have a strange question for all the americans here... It seems it has nothing to do with SL but it has, cause i'm building something and needs to know the following: How do u say it in a funny way when u need to use the toilet? (the big thing) And how do u call such an old fashioned outside toilet, like the ones in the old west? Thanks so far

Here's a way to get some slang terms: go to Google, and put in "toilet site:urbandictionary.com", or "urinate site:urbandictionary.com". That will yield definitions at urbandictionary.com that include the word toilet or urinate.
They won't necessarily be funny.

The term is outhouse or privy..
But if you want to be funny, well try "I have to see a man about a horse".

Or a male might say "I have to 'walk my dog'".

Some people call it the *Library* because they read in there. They do their best multitasking in there.

Take a dump. Take a bio break. Go potty.

IF I say anything it'd be "Mother nature is calling me to the Throne room"

Or as my dad used to say, "I've been meaning to pee for an hour -- and I just might!"

Evacuation drill.
Have a sit-down.
The long drop (this one's African and refers to digging a hole to poo in.)
Spend a penny (An old one for peeing, from pay stalls)
Get into waste removal.

I don't know what Americans would say; but if you are looking for really lame ways of saying you need the toilet that sound like they might have been funny when you were a student then you can't beat "Syphon the python".
One could, of course, "Squeeze out a Cleveland steamer", if one felt the need.

. That means masturbating into the toilet, by the way. Think about it - "the kids"?
