Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

No, not really. This is just an expression. She said "I'm going to just flush myself down the toilet" because she is extremely embarrassed that she thought Chandler was gay. "I could just die" is a more common expression for being embarrassed. English speakers may also use "I made a fool of myself" or some may even use "that will be egg on my face." These both refer to being embarrassed about something, but there are many kinds of expressions that are used.
