piss oneself

Wet your pants

To piss oneself is to urinate in one's clothes, whether from loss of bladder control, fear, or lack of access to a toilet: The kid pissed himself on the roller coaster.

More often, it describes laughing uncontrollably—pissing oneself laughing—where the physical release mirrors (or threatens) actual loss of control: We pissed ourselves watching that video.
