pay the duck

UK slang
verb
/peɪ ðə dʌk/

Definition:
To defecate; to take a poo. Used humorously or euphemistically, especially when excusing oneself discreetly.

Origins:
Originates from British pub or working-class slang. The phrase plays on the absurdity of “paying” a duck as a metaphor for relieving oneself, possibly referencing the awkward or transactional nature of excusing oneself to use the toilet.

"Back in a minute, mate — gotta pay the duck."

"Don't go in there just yet. I just paid the duck, and it wasn't cheap."

"Three pints of bitter and a curry later, I had to pay the duck like my life depended on it."

Person 1: Try moving out of the AOE next time. Don't worry about interrupting your casting!
Person 2: Excuse me? You don't pay my sub!
Person 3: *Sarcastic tone* I can give you a subway gift card! *Rimshot*
