“I need to pee so badly …”

Why do people say this?

I need to pee so badly …

When I hear that, I find myself thinking:

Why “badly”? Why don’t you pee well?

    🙂 Ha ha great observation Paul. I too was just wondering about this one day. Would saying something like – “I am having a strong urge to pee” make more sense or would it be more grammatically correct ?

      That’s probably a bit clearer, although I’m probably being a bit obtuse too!
