In my family, we use "standing" and "sitting" as euphemisms for what
other people say as "number 1" and "number 2".  I'm planning on using
similar terms for the "polite"/"children's" euphemisms in Rokbeigalmki,
but i haven't decided yet which forms of sitting, squating, kneeling,
sitting on a flat surface, sitting with your feet dangling, etc., would
be the best ones to use.
The "grown-up" euphamism is _dashlek_, literally "releasing".  A bathroom
is _dashlekp_, "releasing-place".
