All entertaining euphemisms that you can think of, please.

  Here are some I've come across regarding pregnancy:

  In the club

In the pudding club

Up the duff

To have one's wind set

  Going to the toilet:

  I once knew a woman who always used to say that she was going to make a lady of herself,

I also came across the expression  "going for a gispy's kiss" - this was cockney rhyming slang, work it out.

  More cockneyisms (for a closely allied function):

  Going for a pony  (pony and trap)

Going for a tom tit  
A fool's paradise is better than none.

For dying:
 
 Bought the farm
 Kicked the bucket
 Pining for the fijords
 Checked out
