I told my boss, "Imma go take a piss" and he said that he didn't like what I said and take the rest of the day off WITHOUT PAY! So can I sue for that day of work and maybe damages?

You can sue him because he cannot just let you work without issuing any explain why letter for you to answer. There was no due process in this case. Under the labor law, an employee could be validly denied his work if the procedural process was observed.

No.
The term you used for going to the bathroom could be considered rude, vulgar, and disrespectful. If you said that to your boss you probably will get sent home w/o pay. And what damages?? You were the rude one.
Some lines between management and workers are somewhat blured due to casual interaction, but there should still be some sort of respect. Maybe you don't think the term "piss" isn't vulgar. I use it myself. But I would never say it to my boss in conversation, and he refers to me as his "adopted daughter". Wow.

You can be fired for no real reason. Consider yourself lucky you only lost a half day's pay.
And try to have some manners in the work place.

Hard to sue when your comments could be construed as unwanted harassment. Haven't you heard of ethics?

Talk to a lawyer, but you need to learn etiquette.
