My family would talk about me wetting the bed as if I were not in the room.InkoBubi said:Bed wetter, that's how my parents and my sisters called me. Also in front of others. I hated my parents and sisters for that. But now I would love it to be called bed wetter in front of other people
It used to be "Reds reds wet their beds" at our school. It was no secret I was a bedwetter growing up. Honestly it never bothered me.feetintrouble said:Definitely "wet the bed". It was not a reality for me, but it was for my brother sometimes. Also "wet" is easier to say. Try saying them both quickly.
There was also this playground prank:
"Say 'red'."
"Red."
"You wet your bed."
I get a kick out of people knowing I still wet the bed.InkoBubi said:Bed wetter, that's how my parents and my sisters called me. Also in front of others. I hated my parents and sisters for that. But now I would love it to be called bed wetter in front of other people
Isn't "wee" more of a British expression?Cottontail said:What about weeing your bed? No love for wee? A childhood acquaintance of mine had a bedwetting alarm called a “Wee Alert.”
I prefer wet. It’s more versatile. It’s both a verb and an adjective. The dictionaries I’ve looked at don’t seem to recognize peed as an adjective, which means that if you’ve peed (in/on) your bed, it’s not proper to call it a peed bed. It’s still wet (with pee). Wet ftw.
Where I live, wee is the term used instead of pee. But even then, when I was a child and did a wee in my sleep, that meant I wet my bed.Cottontail said:What about weeing your bed? No love for wee? A childhood acquaintance of mine had a bedwetting alarm called a “Wee Alert.”

Good analysis. Thus my claim that pee just sounds naughtier.patrick1776 said:Seems like a lot more people than not have said that pee the bed sounds intentional and wet the bed sounds accidental.
I wonder if that might be because "pee" is more often a verb than a noun, while wet is more often an adjective than a verb. The word that sounds more like a verb seems to feel more active and intentional, while the word that is more commonly an adjective feels more passive and accidental.
Personally, I have used both, but in slightly different ways (although lots of overlap depending on when I used them). I tend to think of "Pee the bed" as being a bad thing. I cringe when I hear it phrased like that and instinctively get worried that I will be in trouble. "Wet the bed" sounds more comforting or neutral in my mind. I feel like someone is about to reassure me that accidents happen and not to be upset.

When I was a kid, my mom used to say wee-wee instead of pee-pee in reference to peeing. Eventually it seemed weird to me because I didn't hear anybody else calling it that. Then, decades later, I had my own kids and we were watching Elmo's Potty Time one afternoon. Among the many potty topics covered were the various terms used for peeing and pooping, and they mentioned wee-wee! I felt like my childhood was validated, ha ha.KCA said:Where I live, wee is the term used instead of pee.
