I've usually heard this as an adjective, e.g. "School food was a load of old pony" rather than a noun or a verb.
This thread has changed course a bit, hasn't it?

I can't remember any CH euphemisms for bodily functions.......you didn't normally broadcast your...erm movements
.....coz you would probably get water hurled over the top of the cubicle or some other misfortune.

Euphemisms really weren't our thing, were they?
Re. the water thing. Yes, I remember that - but at least it didn't matter if the old-fashioned hard bog roll got wet. Not exactly absorbent.....

Certainly no good after a curry, but, then again, what passed for 'curry' at C.H. was not exactly challenging in the spice department.
I think it's safe to say that anyone who copped a dose of the 'two bob bits' was in for a difficult time!
