Skinpee
I’m dedicating this quickie post to Andi, since she seemed to enjoy this same observation I made on Twitter enough to adopt the word “skinpee.”
August has been hot in Belgium. Very hot. Needless to say, by the time I bike the 3ish km (1.8 miles) to class in the morning I’m soaked with perspiration. I was starting to get dizzy and have headaches so I’m trying to drink 2 litres of water every day. This has also resulted (predictably) in an increase of bladder output.
So not only am I perpetually damp from my commute to and from class, I’m also running up and down the stairs to pee all day. And that running the stairs with no air conditioning leads to?
You guessed it.
More sweat.
And since sweat and pee are basically the same chemical composition (save for the nitrogen in pee and the lactate in sweat), that pretty much means that I have become, for all intents and purposes, a giant walking tower of urine. Cause you know, sweat is pretty much the equivalent of your skin taking a piss.
Skinpee.

And my bathroom vocabulary just grew again.
My thanks to you for skinpee.
Is your hot in any way similar to my hot in south Alabama? What I mean to ask is if you are a heat sissy or if it’s really hot?
Hmmm, if you look at it that way, you’re right! Great word, I’m skinpeeing right this very minute!
Great word! But it’s even worse when you eat a lot of garlic.
Too funny… I used to like sweating, but now… maybe not so much.
oh don’t worry, good weather in Belgium never lasts long. Oh look outside…it’s raining already! Maybe the sky is skinpeeing.
Genius!
I have three boys who love potty humor. You are their new best friend.
Does that mean we can stick diapers or sanitary napkins to our bodies to soak it up? No? Darn.
OMG! Still laughing my ass off about the skinpee.
Hahahahahahaha! That just may be the funniest thing, I have read, seen or thought about in a long long time!
Fabulous!!
ha ha, Holl told me about this one. Hilarious. My skin pees a lot. Even when I am slim (which I am not right now. My kids are like it too. I suppose some of us are just leaky. ;D
Hee hee. Skinpee. Hilarious! It even sounds a little naughty.
I am rarely speechless. Or pee-less. But I’m often sweat-less. NO matter how hard I work at exercise, I don’t sweat much. And now I am so so glad.
Awe… I LOVED this post, but I love some of your other posts EVEN more. Go see what I said about you on Jenn’s blog.
You are a master writer, Korie. Truly.
Skinpee? It is now part of my vocabulary list….
