Kick the bucket
Polishing the hood ornaments
Pinching the peaches
Pumping the prop shaft
Grabbing Magellan’s prize
Shaving the badger
Squeezing the lemon
Choking the chicken

And etc

Status: offline 		Most of the euphemisms I hear tend to be 'nice' ways to describe bodily functions...

Powder my nose
Shake hands with the baby's daddy
wring out a kidney

or...

going to lay a cable
going to drop the kids off at the pool
going to squeeze a malteser

On second thoughts, none of these is really nicer than the real meaning!
