How it's used
Primarily used to describe children wetting the bed or someone losing control of their bladder due to extreme fear. It carries a slightly mocking or blunt tone, so it is rarely used in polite or formal conversation. When applied to adults, it often functions as a hyperbolic insult to suggest someone is a coward.
Examples
He used to wet the bed all the time when he was small.
