How it's used
This expression is a hyperbolic way to describe extreme fear or being startled. It functions as a vivid, slightly vulgar intensifier rather than a literal description of incontinence. It is most commonly used among friends or in informal settings to tease someone for overreacting to a situation.
Examples
He was so scared of the big cockroach that he nearly wet himself.

Common mistake
