I’ll alert the media.

(That’s what my mom says when someone announces that they’re going to go to the bathroom.)

When my Mom would announce that she was going to go to the bathroom, she'd say: "I'm going to see a man about a horse."

I never understood that phrase.

My mother says that too.

Also: "I see", said the blind man to the deaf man, as he picked up his hammer and saw.

"She seems like a nice girl but my, she pees like a horse!"

Reputed to have been said by the father of one of Marylin Munroe's early boyfriends related to her practice of turning the washbasin sink taps on full when using the WC in order to mask any embarrassing wind related noises.

Like someone is going to go & be betting on races. "See a man about a dog" was another take. "Spend a penny" was another because of old-fashioned public urinals requiring a penny admission fee.

Am an American here, and I guy I worked with years ago would say "I have to see a man about a dog" to convey that. He was astounded that I had never heard the expression before. And I havent heard it since until seeing this "horse" version just now. Dont know the derivation of the expression. But I guess that its as good a euphemism as any other.

"I'm going to drop the kids off at the pool". Wait, no, that's not peeing.

OP must have dropped a nickel in the commode. Better send a half-dollar to throw down, something to make it worth going after.
