have a bowel movement


Explanation:
Mungkin " have a bowel movement" terdengar netral karena banyak digunakan dalam artikel ilmiah.

Dan, ada banyak pilihan "euphemism for having a bowel movement" di http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/535901

Tapi sepertinya euphemism itu kebanyakan adalah bahasa anak-anak.
