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'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
