thirsty for water but what for urinating?

Question

Hi,

I was trying to find an ajective to describe the urge of going to washroom just like people would say they were thirsty when they want to drink water or fluids. Is there an adjective to describe the feeling of going to washroom?

Thanks,

I cannot think of one.

However, you can say: "I gotta go to the bathroom" or "I need to go to the bathroom really bad."

Khoff · Answer

You could say something like "I really need to pee/urinate" but, quite unlike being thirsty, this is NOT something that people talk about in "polite company." For example, if you are having dinner in a restaurant with a group of people and you need to go to the bathroom, you should just say "Excuse me. I'll be right back." Any more information about what you need to do or how much you want to do it is NOT considered polite!

If you are talking to a doctor about a medical problem, you could say "I feel a strong (or perhaps frequent) urge to urinate."

Informally, I'm busting (in Australia) or bursting (UK) are similar to starving (very hungry.)  I have a urinary urgency might be medical English.

Logantylerm · Answer

After further research I found that, however, is it actually common?

JohnBoz · Answer

It is not common to talk to people about how extremely you need to urinate.
