In the good old days, women who wanted to spend a penny would go to the House of Lords to powder the nose. On the other hand, men who wanted to see a man about a dog would go to the bog to shake hands with the vicar.
These days, everyone goes to the bathroom. Someone took the music out of the language.
No matter. Hope your break is not for serious reasons. In any event, I’ve never heard these euphemisms before!

I used to know a man who always said he was going to shake hands with the wife’s best friend.
