Etymology
The term 'wee' as a verb for urination is believed to trace back to Scots language in the early 20th century. It likely derives from the Scottish word 'wee', which means small or little. The word was used to refer to the act of urinating in a playful or childish way, making it very common in informal speech, particularly among parents talking to children. It reflects a softer approach to discussing bodily functions, which is often deemed socially awkward to address directly. Over time, 'wee' transitioned into various English-speaking communities, especially in the UK, and its derivative 'weeing' became prevalent in colloquial English. The use of 'wee' has taken on a more familiar tone, contributing to its acceptance in various informal contexts.
