euphemisms

Here are some of my favorite recent slang phrases or odd pronunciations of words heard from patients:
plastic urinal - "bent neck bottle"
area at top, inside of leg - "growing area"
a sensation that you wanting to scratch - "eeching"
me scanning their wristband before giving them medicine - "price check"

and my recent favorite:
having a bowel movement - "doing the manly thing"
