Have they heard the phrase "taking the Mick"? Cockney rhyming slang for piss is Micky Bliss, so taking the piss became taking the mick. Both phrases became popular in the 1930s.

On the contrary, this term is used in the US all the time, but slightly different. If someone knocks on the bathroom door, I yell, "Hold your horses! I'm taking a piss!" Or as my grandfather used to say when he needed to take a leak, "Be back in a minute. Got to go water my horse!" Thais never refer directly to bathroom duties, and, in fact, it is considered slightly crude even to say, "Bai hongnam."(I'm going to the bathroom). They use several euphenisms, which I can't remember exactly, but one that women use is something about going to water their flowers, and one that men use is going to shoot the rabbit, IIRC!
