Hi Geekfreek, these terms 'pee' and 'wee' arose in childhood, pee-pee mommy or daddy, and the slang is well established in society today, carried through to adulthood. I mean who says today, I must go now to urinate. My urine needs to come out. Of course urinate is used in editorial, and we have the saying 'getting pissed' or 'pissed as a neut', meaning our of our heads with booze. Hope Useful
