comfort break and break

[Ju]

What are the differences between comfort break and break ?

eg

1. I am going to take a break.

2. I am going to take a comfort break.



Thank you.

Comfort break is a euphemism for a visit to the toilet.

It is a euphemism that I associate with AmE rather than BrE.

I've never heard this used in AmE. Many years ago, at the Bronx Zoo, there were directional signs pointing to the "Comfort Stations." I don't know if they still use that term, but this is the only time that I've seen "comfort" used in this context.
