telling it to Trumpy's face. The odd fun occurs by laying down a sheet in the water and letting it all go in the name of all the enraged and motivated neverTrumpers.

I like to refer to it as a need to "use the facilities."

My high school students find the formality of it pretty funny, and it's a nice contrast to comments such as, "I gotta go take a dump."

Indoors I'll say something like "make a strafing run", or more prosaically "hit the head".

Also used:
* draw Excalibre
* drop a duke
* catch up on my reading
* make a Trump video

"I'm gotta talk to a guy about a horse".

At first I took it literally....but I was bewildered cuz my BF was really into cars...He was so into cars that I thought horse was maybe slang for a car.

Or "torque off a moonfish", or "leave a steamy klinker".

I spent way too much time in college thinking about this.
