ltgmarsIs there a single word designated for the feeling you have when you have to go to the bathroom?
Like, a single word. There's a single word for most everything else that humans find relevant and/or necessary: hungry, thirsty, sleepy, horny. But there isn't one for having to go to the bathroom in general (without getting into specifics like constipation, etc.). What are our thoughts on this? Should this be rectified? What authorities can we contact to right this wrong? Who's the modern-day Shakespeare who can bring a new word for this purpose into our language? What should the word be?
Whatever it is, I'm that right now. D:
