I accept that 'lavatory', 'toilet' and 'WC' were also, in their day, euphemisms, but is it so necessary to pretend that we all, even monarchs and popes need to 'rest' or 'wash' or 'powder our noses' when everybody knows that our prime need is to empty our bladders and/or bowels?

I must stop now, as I need to go and shake hands with an old friend.
Thank you so much for your opinion!
