Fun fact for the day

Some Italians, to express the fact that they (a) need to poo, (b) will soon take a poo, or (c) have just taken a poo, will say:

"Devo fare un bisogno" (for example)

The word "bisogno" means need. So the meaning of that phrase is equivalent to, "I have a need to take care of" or "I'm just going to take care of something".

Italian is such a pretty language, that even poo-ing sounds pretty and delicate.

There's a similar expression in French, I think: devoir faire ses besoins. Not as pretty, somehow.
