A p-iss

I need a p- iss.
He's having a p- iss.

Can you please tell me what "a p iss" means here?

I know "p-iss" means to pass urine, so I could understand them as "I need urine" and "He is holding urine in his ....." respectively, which don't make any sense. Please help me with this.

Hi, I'm sure you're aware of the fact that in most western countries (including English speaking countries) we don't usually provide details on what somebody's doing in the toilet ... it's their business. Anyway, back to your sentences, this is what they mean: - I need to urinate.

Hi,

Anyway, back to your sentences, this is what they mean:

- I need to urinate.

- He's urinating.
