There are so many words to use to describe this special action. But what are the English words or phrases that native speakers use to describe this?
Of course, scientifically it’s known as “urination”. However, not many people, say, “Hey, I need to urinate.” It sounds too formal!
In America, we commonly try to avoid, as much as possible, any comments or discussion of these physical needs. In a public setting, I usually prefer to avoid saying anything. I just go when I have the opportunity. In a social setting like a dinner party, I often just say 'Excuse me', and get up and go to the bathroom. If you need to ask someone where the bathroom is, you can politely say; “excuse me, could you please tell me where the restroom/bathroom/mens room or ladies room is?” Here are a few words/phrases that you can use to describe this urge: Pee Pee Pee Pee Like a Race Horse Pee Like a Raging Fire Hose Piss Wee Wee Wee Have to Take a Wizz Gotta Tinkle Take a Leak Go Number One (number two is poopoo) My Bladder is Full My Eyes are Turning Yellow My Back Teeth Are Floating Drain the Main Vein(male) Drain the Lizard(male) There are some other phrases we use that are not limited to just pee, such as: Relieve Yourself Use the John Use the Head Go Potty Mens room Ladies room Can you add any others to my list? ## Images 1.
