SPEND A PENNY phrase. 1. To go to the toilet. The phrase has its origins in the days when most toilet stalls in the LOO had locks which would only open after a penny had been inserted. As in this graffiti,
Here I sit broken hearted,
Paid a penny and only farted.
or
Definition of torture: Standing outside a LOO with a bent penny.
