wet oneself
Accident in pants
To wet oneself is to urinate in one's clothes, typically from loss of bladder control.
Children wet themselves before they're fully toilet-trained.
Adults may wet themselves from fear, illness, laughing too hard, or being denied access to a bathroom: I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself.
The phrase sometimes appears as hyperbole for intense amusement or terror.
