I've always cringed when someone has said "The dog went to the bathroom on
that tree."
My favorite movie line was delivered by Richard Burton in Who's afraid of
Virginia
Woolf when he staggers in and drunkenly asks, "Where's your euphemism?"

In a related note, having installed a newer more efficient model, I was
giving away the old toilet at a garage sale. At one point someone asked
me, "How much for that bathroom?" It didn't register with me immediately
and he repeated "I'll take that bathroom over there." I have no idea where
he was from originally, but that was a usage I hadn't heard before here in
the Northwest.
