For example, if someone is speaking correct English on television, the radio, or in polite society and suddenly pauses and resorts to crudities such as "pee" or "butt", it's obvious that he (or she) doesn't know the words "urinate" or "buttocks", "anus", "rectum", etc., or is somehow uncomfortable using them.

Several years ago, I was hospitalized for a problem, it included difficulty with my fluid output, I was going wayyyyyy too much and too often. It annoyed me no end to have the urologist come visit every morning and attempt to discuss the problem, he was always saying things such as, "We need to find out why you are peeing so much," rather than a more mature, medically-appropriate, "We need to find out why you are urinating so much," as though I, a 28-year-old adult, wouldn't know what that *long word* meant.

Both terms make me think that it’s being done outside, lol. Like a drunk, just going “anywhere.” I much prefer the euphemism “go to the bathroom,” probably for that reason.

Silly, I know. I already said I’m “old school.”
