I need to micturate a lot.
is few would know WTF the author is referring to.ie. for some urinate and pee are just as bad as piss or wee.
Luckily my cup runneth over and I can decently speak of pissing, going for a slash, splashing the porcelain and otherwise making water in a multitude of ways in my own locale.
Of course I might simply be taking the piss.
Thy micturitions are to me,
As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles,
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer.
[drowned out by moaning and screaming]”
—Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
It is quite interesting to note, that when I read this as a teenager, I did not even try to find out what “micturitions” are, because I confidently assumed that these were all nonsense words.
One is the act of expelling fluids from the body, the other is the complete whoa to go system of fluid capture, pipelined filtering, storage, treating, and feedback system for expulsion along with the pipe discharge.
To clarify, micturition is very much just the process of voiding, the wave-like contractions of the detrusor muscle and the relaxation of the internal and external sphincters, and the signals that trigger that process.
The study of micturition, how far back you might chase to fully grasp what's up when voiding has issues, gets a bit more expansive.
It's a stretch to look as far back as the kidneys, sure - but you likely know how compulsives get when they're getting deep in the wees.
