  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  I see it fairly often on aisle signs in grocery stores.

  
  

  Even as a little kid it struck me as a very silly euphemism, since everyone uses the toilet.

  Is calling it "bathroom tissue" going to make you not think of toilets? I mean, it's still toilet paper, regardless of what fancy words you use for it...

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  "Toilet" is itself a kind of euphemism; originally a lady's toilet was her cosmetic preparation for going out in public.

  If you're in West Virginia you might call it a commode, so... :P

  Privy, latrine, john, water closet, crapper, possibly "evils" depending on what Shakespeare meant in that one play...
