Stop bothering me and/or relax yourself, specifically by taking a break in the powder room. There you can put some talcum on your face to cool off. See go take a swim and fly a kite. Old fashioned.

Chill out...relax...calm down. As in "Go powder your nose or something (for a guy, too) and CALM THE FUCK DOWN"

"Dude, WTF?! Are you on the rag or something? We were TOTALLY kidding. Go take a powder and your beer'll be here when you get back"

Polite way of saying you need to fart or leave abruptly. back in the days of newspaper funny pages or cartoons farting was commonly depicted using a poof of body powder to show they farted. this was only known by kids or hip people so when you said it adults wouldent get it.
