wets oneself

Has an accident

To wet oneself is to urinate involuntarily, especially in one's clothes—from loss of bladder control, fear, or laughing too hard: The child wet herself on the car ride.

The past tense is wet or wetted.

The phrase often appears hyperbolically: I nearly wet myself laughing.
