Big jobs is a British informal — primarily childish — euphemism for defecation, the counterpart to 'little jobs' (urination). Typically used by parents talking to young children, or adopted humorously by adults in a deliberately childish register. Widely understood across the UK and carries a gentle, inoffensive tone by design. The framing of bodily functions as 'jobs' (tasks to be completed) is characteristic of British nursery language.
The toddler announced he needed to do big jobs, so the picnic came to an abrupt halt.
