'Going for a Pee'

[Tartann]

Where does the phrase: I'm going for a Pee (i.e. I'm going to the toilet) come from?

Presumably, as it's a shortened and polite way of saying, "I'm going for a p155".

<b>Tom</b> is exactly right. The spelling 'pee' is just a representation of the letter 'P', that being the opening of the - nowadays crude - 4-letter word. It was introduced at the tail end of the (supposedly) prudish Victorian days to avoid offending delicate sensibilities.

Oh dear. Please don't say we've lost the use of HTML codes completely here. Just to check: <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> and <u>underline</u>.

Just to say.. that the French say 'faire pi pi' and the Germans ' Pi pi machen"
